19 of Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his maiden championship for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has had a challenging year, achieving just a single victory at the major tournaments and experiencing a meltdown at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in specific - caused him falling of the top ten and ultimately separating with long-term coach Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested competitive triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
It is his first trophy since the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface from spring of that year.
The win also means Medvedev has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 different competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a competition with my both daughters together, so to get a trophy is particularly special," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in dedication of my child my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had been defeated in his last six championship matches, comprising in that event previously this season.
His retrieving play style and regular outbursts on court had led commentators to question if his capacity to play at the top level was concluded.
But the player has altered his approach in the past month, striving to approach the net and play positively, backed up by an enhanced service.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the first set against the challenging opponent, taking four of the final five games to go ahead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden professional title, took control to push for a decider.
The opponent rescued four initial opportunities in a competitive third set before Medvedev broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev secured the title with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman unable to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
