19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been won on hardcourt
A comeback Medvedev claimed his first trophy for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a torrid year, managing just one match at the major tournaments and undergoing a setback at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serving in particular - resulted in him falling of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with long-term mentor his previous coach.
Currently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently advanced in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought competitive triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks the player's maiden title after the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt from spring of the previous year.
Victory also means he has secured 21 championships at 21 different tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my children at once, so to get a title is especially meaningful," stated ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my second daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching approach and regular outbursts on the tennis court had led commentators to doubt if his skill to compete at the top level was concluded.
Yet the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to advance forward and compete assertively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, winning 4 of the last five games to take the lead.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his initial ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to force a final set.
He saved 4 early opportunities in a close third set before the Russian secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner secured the title with a shot at the net, with his opponent failing to handle a return after a lengthy match.
