19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been achieved on hard courts
A revitalized Medvedev secured his first trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has had a challenging season, winning just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the American major.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serve in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and eventually parting ways with former coach Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
This marks the player's maiden championship following the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt since spring of that year.
Victory also indicates Medvedev has won twenty-one championships at twenty-one various competitions.
"For the first time I am participating in a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to win a championship is particularly special," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I got when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his previous six finals, comprising in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's defensive strategy and recurring reactions on the playing surface had led some to wonder if his ability to compete at the highest level was over.
But the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to come to the net and play assertively, reinforced by an enhanced serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, taking 4 of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped breaks in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his maiden professional victory, seized the initiative to force a final set.
Moutet defended 4 initial chances in a tight third set before the Russian won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev secured the win with a shot at the front of the court, with Moutet unable to control a volley after a lengthy match.
