19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been won on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has experienced a challenging period, managing just one match at the major tournaments and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in specific - led to him exiting of the world's top 10 and eventually parting ways with former mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently training with Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought competitive win over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard court since spring of 2023.
The win also indicates the Russian has secured twenty-one victories at 21 different events.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my children together, so to get a title is really nice," stated ranked player the champion.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I won when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his last six title deciders, featuring in Halle previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive play style and recurring emotional displays on the playing surface had caused commentators to doubt if his capacity to play at the top level was concluded.
Yet the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, attempting to advance forward and perform aggressively, supported by an improved serving game.
The champion came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, winning four of the concluding five points to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent rescued four initial chances in a tight third set before the Russian broke to fifteen to close out the victory.
Fittingly, he secured the win with a point at the net area, with Moutet failing to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
