Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hard courts
A comeback Medvedev claimed his initial title for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a challenging year, managing just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the American major.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in particular - caused him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-time trainer Cervara.
Now training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested competitive triumph over challenger Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's maiden title following the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court since March of 2023.
The win also means the Russian has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 distinct events.
"For the first time I'm at a competition with my two daughters together, so to win a title is really nice," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This championship is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six championship matches, featuring in the German tournament previously this season.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and frequent outbursts on the tennis court had led observers to wonder if his capacity to play at the top level was finished.
However the athlete has altered his approach in the last few weeks, attempting to come to the net and perform positively, supported by an enhanced service.
The champion came back from a deficit in the initial set against the challenging Frenchman, taking 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his initial professional championship, gained dominance to create a decider.
He rescued 4 early-game opportunities in a tight deciding set before the champion secured a break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner secured the title with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
