19 of the Russian's 21 titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player won his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has had a challenging season, managing just one match at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in specific - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually parting ways with long-time coach Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a closely contested competitive win over challenger Moutet.
This represents his maiden trophy following the Rome competition and maiden on a hardcourt after spring of that year.
The win also signifies the Russian has won 21 titles at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a tournament with my children simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is particularly special," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had lost his previous six finals, featuring in Halle in the past months.
His retrieving play style and frequent outbursts on the tennis court had prompted some to wonder if his capacity to compete at the top level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and compete positively, reinforced by an enhanced serve.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, winning four of the last five games to go ahead.
The pair swapped breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his initial ATP Tour championship, seized the initiative to create a final set.
The opponent rescued four initial opportunities in a tight deciding set before the Russian won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Appropriately, he secured the win with a rally at the net area, with Moutet incapable to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
