19 of the Russian's 21 titles have been won on hard courts
A comeback Daniil Medvedev won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a challenging period, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a setback at the American major.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his serving in particular - caused him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with long-term mentor his previous coach.
Now working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive triumph over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface after spring of 2023.
Victory also indicates Medvedev has won 21 victories at twenty-one various competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my children simultaneously, so to get a trophy is really nice," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my second daughter her name, because the first title I won when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his previous six finals, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
His defensive strategy and recurring reactions on the tennis court had led observers to doubt if his capacity to play at the elite level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in recent weeks, making an effort to come to the net and play aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced serve.
The champion fought back from a break down in the first set against the difficult Moutet, taking 4 of the final five games to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour victory, took control to force a third set.
The opponent defended four initial opportunities in a close deciding set before the champion broke to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner secured victory with a rally at the net, with his opponent incapable to manage a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
