Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his initial championship for over two years with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former world number one, has experienced a torrid season, managing just one win at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serving in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with former coach Cervara.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over challenger Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's initial trophy following the Rome competition and initial on a hardcourt after that period of the previous year.
The win also signifies Medvedev has secured 21 titles at twenty-one different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my two daughters together, so to secure a championship is particularly special," stated ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his last six title deciders, featuring in Halle previously this season.
His retrieving strategy and recurring outbursts on court had led observers to wonder if his capacity to play at the elite level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and compete aggressively, supported by an enhanced service.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the initial set against the difficult Frenchman, winning 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, striving for his first ATP Tour title, took control to force a final set.
The opponent saved 4 early-game opportunities in a competitive third set before the champion won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev earned the title with a point at the net area, with Moutet unable to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
