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

A revitalized Medvedev won his first trophy for over two years with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.

Medvedev, a former number one, has experienced a difficult period, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and suffering a setback at the New York tournament.

The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in specific - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and finally splitting with long-term coach his previous coach.

Currently collaborating with Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.

This represents his first trophy since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard court after spring of the previous year.

Victory also means Medvedev has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 various events.

"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my children at once, so to get a title is particularly special," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.

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

Medvedev, the past champion, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.

Medvedev's counter-punching approach and regular reactions on the tennis court had led some to doubt if his ability to compete at the highest level was finished.

Yet the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to come to the net and perform positively, reinforced by an better serving game.

He fought back from a break down in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, winning 4 of the last five games to go ahead.

Both players traded breaks in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his first professional championship, seized the initiative to force a third set.

He defended four initial break points in a close third set before the champion won the break to 15 to secure the win.

Appropriately, Medvedev clinched victory with a point at the net, with the Frenchman failing to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
