Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player won his first championship for 882 days with success over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a former number one, has experienced a difficult year, managing just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a setback at the American major.
His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in especial - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with long-time coach Cervara.
Now working with Johansson and his other coach, he has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over opponent Moutet.
This marks the player's first title after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface after March of that year.
Victory also signifies he has achieved 21 championships at twenty-one different events.
"For the first time I have attended a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to win a title is particularly special," said tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in honour of my child my daughter, because the first title I won when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his last six championship matches, comprising in that event earlier this year.
His counter-punching strategy and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had led observers to question if his skill to compete at the highest level was finished.
But the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and compete assertively, backed up by an improved serve.
The champion fought back from a break down in the first set against the challenging Frenchman, winning 4 of the concluding five games to take the lead.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his first tour title, gained dominance to push for a decider.
He rescued four early-game opportunities in a close deciding set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Appropriately, Medvedev earned victory with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to manage a return after over two and a half hours.
