Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard surfaces
A comeback Medvedev secured his initial championship for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.

"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I won when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six finals, featuring in the German tournament earlier this year.
Medvedev's defensive strategy and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had led some to doubt if his capacity to play at the highest level was finished.
But the athlete has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to approach the net and play assertively, backed up by an enhanced serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, winning four of the final five points to go ahead.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden professional championship, seized the initiative to create a third set.
He rescued four early chances in a close deciding set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Appropriately, Medvedev clinched victory with a point at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a volley after a lengthy match.
