Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 titles have been won on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev won his maiden title for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a former world number one, has experienced a difficult year, winning just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in especial - resulted in him exiting of the world's top 10 and finally parting ways with long-time trainer Cervara.
Now working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought competitive triumph over opponent Moutet.
This represents his maiden championship since the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hardcourt from that period of that year.
The win also signifies Medvedev has secured twenty-one titles at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a competition with my both daughters at once, so to win a title is particularly special," said tennis professional the champion.
"This victory is in dedication of my second daughter her name, because the initial championship I got when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six title deciders, including in that event previously this season.
His counter-punching strategy and frequent outbursts on court had prompted observers to wonder if his skill to compete at the highest level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and play positively, backed up by an improved service.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the tricky Frenchman, securing 4 of the last five points to take the lead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his maiden ATP Tour championship, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
The opponent defended four early chances in a tight deciding set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to secure the win.
Appropriately, he earned the win with a rally at the net area, with Moutet incapable to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
