Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hard surfaces
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev secured his first title for over two years with success over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging period, achieving just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in particular - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and finally parting ways with long-term coach Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set win over challenger Corentin Moutet.
It is the player's first trophy after the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court since that period of the previous year.
The win also signifies he has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my children at once, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," stated ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, comprising in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and recurring reactions on court had led observers to question if his capacity to perform at the top level was finished.
But the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, striving to come to the net and compete aggressively, reinforced by an better serve.
Medvedev fought back from a deficit in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, securing four of the last five games to go ahead.
The pair swapped service breaks in the second set before Moutet, bidding for his initial tour championship, gained dominance to push for a third set.
The opponent rescued four initial break points in a close final set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned the win with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
