Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his first title for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has endured a torrid period, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and finally splitting with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Now collaborating with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has steadily advanced in the recent weeks - culminating in a closely contested three-set win over opponent Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first title after the Italian tournament and first on a hard court from March of that year.
Victory also indicates the Russian has secured 21 victories at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my two daughters at once, so to secure a trophy is really nice," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my child Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had been defeated in his last six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's counter-punching strategy and regular outbursts on the playing surface had led commentators to doubt if his ability to perform at the top level was finished.
But the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, striving to approach the net and compete assertively, reinforced by an improved service.
The champion recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, taking 4 of the concluding five exchanges to go ahead.
The competitors exchanged break points in the second set before the challenger, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour title, took control to force a final set.
He rescued 4 early break points in a close final set before the champion won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the win with a point at the net area, with his opponent unable to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
