Nineteen of the Russian's 21 championships have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a former number one, has experienced a difficult season, managing just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in particular - led to him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
It is Medvedev's initial title following the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard surface since March of the previous year.
Success also means he has achieved twenty-one titles at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a title is particularly special," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This victory is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his past six championship matches, comprising in that event previously this season.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and frequent emotional displays on the tennis court had caused some to doubt if his capacity to play at the top level was finished.
But the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and compete aggressively, reinforced by an better service.
Medvedev fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky Moutet, taking four of the final five points to take the lead.
The competitors swapped service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his first tour championship, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent rescued 4 initial break points in a competitive deciding set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured victory with a rally at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to control a volley after a lengthy match.
