Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hard surfaces
A comeback Medvedev secured his maiden championship for over two years with a win over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a former number one, has endured a torrid period, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in specific - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with long-time mentor his previous coach.
Presently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought three-set victory over challenger Moutet.
This marks his first title since the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface after that period of the previous year.
Success also indicates the Russian has secured 21 championships at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"For the first time I'm at a tournament with my two daughters at once, so to win a title is really nice," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his previous six finals, including in that event previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive strategy and recurring reactions on the tennis court had caused commentators to doubt if his ability to compete at the elite level was concluded.
Yet the athlete has implemented adjustments in the past month, striving to advance forward and perform aggressively, supported by an better serve.
He recovered from a deficit in the initial set against the difficult opponent, securing four of the final five games to take the lead.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour victory, took control to force a final set.
He saved four early-game opportunities in a close final set before the Russian won the break to that score to secure the win.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned the win with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet unable to handle a volley after a lengthy match.
