19 of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Medvedev claimed his first championship for nearly 30 months with success over Corentin Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a former world number one, has had a torrid period, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a setback at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in specific - resulted in him falling of the top ten and finally separating with former mentor his previous coach.
Now training with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought three-set victory over Frenchman Moutet.
It is Medvedev's initial trophy since the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard court from March of the previous year.
Victory also means the Russian has won 21 victories at twenty-one various tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my children together, so to win a title is especially meaningful," said tennis professional the champion.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I won when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his previous six championship matches, including in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's defensive strategy and frequent reactions on the playing surface had led commentators to doubt if his skill to perform at the top level was concluded.
But the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to come to the net and compete assertively, supported by an improved serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging opponent, taking four of the last five points to gain the advantage.
Both players swapped service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his maiden ATP Tour championship, took control to force a third set.
He saved 4 early break points in a competitive final set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev clinched victory with a rally at the net, with his opponent incapable to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
