19 of the Russian's 21 championships have been won on hard surfaces
A comeback Daniil Medvedev won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with success over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has experienced a difficult season, achieving just a single victory at the big events and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in particular - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately separating with former coach his previous coach.
Presently training with his coach and Goetzke, he has steadily advanced in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This represents the player's first title after the Rome competition and initial on a hard court since March of the previous year.
Success also means Medvedev has secured twenty-one titles at twenty-one various events.
"It's the first time I'm at a competition with my both daughters simultaneously, so to secure a championship is particularly special," commented ranked player the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his last six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and regular outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to doubt if his capacity to perform at the elite level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and perform assertively, backed up by an improved serving game.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Moutet, taking 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The pair traded service breaks in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his maiden professional title, seized the initiative to force a third set.
Moutet defended 4 initial break points in a competitive final set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Appropriately, he secured the win with a shot at the net, with his opponent incapable to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
