Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 victories have been won on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player secured his maiden title for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has endured a difficult season, winning just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the New York tournament.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his service game in particular - caused him exiting of the top ten and eventually separating with former trainer his previous coach.
Presently training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hard court from that period of that year.
The win also indicates he has secured 21 championships at 21 various competitions.
"For the first time I am participating in a event with my children at once, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had lost his last six finals, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
The player's retrieving approach and frequent emotional displays on court had prompted some to doubt if his capacity to perform at the highest level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and perform assertively, supported by an enhanced service.
He came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky opponent, taking 4 of the concluding five points to go ahead.
The pair exchanged break points in the second set before Moutet, bidding for his initial tour victory, gained dominance to force a third set.
Moutet saved 4 early-game chances in a close final set before the champion won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured victory with a shot at the net area, with Moutet unable to manage a shot after a lengthy match.
