Resurgent Medvedev Claims First Trophy in Over Two Years

19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hard courts

A resurgent the Russian player secured his maiden title for nearly 30 months with victory over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.

The Russian, a former number one, has endured a torrid period, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a setback at the American major.

Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in especial - led to him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with former mentor Gilles Cervara.

Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually improved in the last few weeks - peaking in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over opponent Corentin Moutet.

This represents Medvedev's initial trophy since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard court from that period of that year.

The win also indicates the Russian has secured twenty-one victories at twenty-one different competitions.

"For the first time I have attended a tournament with my children simultaneously, so to win a championship is really nice," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.

"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I achieved when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."

Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his last six title deciders, featuring in Halle previously this season.

Medvedev's counter-punching strategy and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had led observers to wonder if his capacity to perform at the elite level was over.

However the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, making an effort to come to the net and perform assertively, reinforced by an improved serve.

He came back from a break down in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, winning four of the last five games to take the lead.

Both players swapped service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his first tour victory, gained dominance to push for a third set.

The opponent saved 4 early-game break points in a tight final set before the champion broke to fifteen to secure the win.

Suitably, the winner secured victory with a point at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a return after a lengthy match.
