19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev won his maiden trophy for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has experienced a torrid season, winning just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in specific - led to him exiting of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently training with Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently improved in the recent weeks - culminating in a tightly fought competitive victory over opponent Moutet.
It is his initial championship following the Rome competition and first on a hard surface after spring of that year.
The win also indicates the Russian has secured twenty-one titles at twenty-one different competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a title is really nice," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I achieved when my child my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his last six championship matches, featuring in the German tournament previously this season.
His counter-punching approach and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had led some to wonder if his skill to compete at the top level was concluded.
But the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and compete assertively, supported by an improved serving game.
He came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, securing four of the last five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the following set before the challenger, bidding for his first professional title, took control to push for a decider.
The opponent rescued 4 early-game chances in a competitive deciding set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, he clinched the title with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to handle a volley after a lengthy match.
