19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player secured his initial trophy for over two years with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has experienced a challenging year, winning just a single victory at the Grand Slams and experiencing a setback at the American major.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in specific - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with long-time coach his previous coach.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's initial trophy after the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt from spring of the previous year.
Success also means he has achieved twenty-one championships at twenty-one different competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my both daughters at once, so to get a trophy is especially meaningful," said ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his past six finals, including in Halle earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching strategy and recurring outbursts on court had led observers to question if his capacity to compete at the top level was over.
However the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, making an effort to approach the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an enhanced service.
He fought back from a break down in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, taking 4 of the final five points to take the lead.
Both players traded break points in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial professional title, gained dominance to create a third set.
Moutet saved 4 initial opportunities in a tight deciding set before the champion won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner clinched the win with a shot at the front of the court, with Moutet unable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
