Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 championships have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev claimed his initial trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has endured a challenging year, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.
The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in specific - led to him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately separating with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set victory over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's maiden trophy since the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt from March of the previous year.
Success also means the Russian has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 various competitions.
"For the first time I am participating in a tournament with my two daughters together, so to get a championship is really nice," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my child my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his last six finals, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching strategy and regular reactions on court had led observers to question if his ability to compete at the top level was over.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and play assertively, backed up by an better service.
He came back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, taking four of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial professional championship, seized the initiative to force a decider.
The opponent defended 4 early opportunities in a close final set before the champion broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the win with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
