Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard surfaces

A resurgent the Russian player won his maiden trophy for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.

The Russian, a ex- number one, has had a challenging year, achieving just one match at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.

Medvedev's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in particular - caused him exiting of the top ten and ultimately splitting with former trainer his previous coach.

Presently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.

This marks his initial trophy after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard court from that period of the previous year.

Victory also signifies the Russian has achieved 21 championships at twenty-one distinct competitions.

"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a championship is really nice," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.

"This title is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."

The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his previous six championship matches, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.

His counter-punching approach and regular outbursts on the tennis court had led observers to doubt if his skill to perform at the elite level was finished.

But the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and perform aggressively, supported by an better serve.

He fought back from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, taking 4 of the final five points to go ahead.

The competitors traded service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial professional title, seized the initiative to push for a final set.

He defended 4 early-game opportunities in a competitive third set before the champion broke to fifteen to close out the victory.

Suitably, he secured the win with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
