19 of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a challenging year, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.

The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his last six finals, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's retrieving play style and frequent reactions on court had led some to wonder if his capacity to perform at the top level was finished.
However the player has made changes in the past month, striving to come to the net and compete assertively, supported by an better serving game.
The champion came back from a deficit in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, taking four of the concluding five points to go ahead.
The competitors traded service breaks in the second set before Moutet, bidding for his maiden ATP Tour victory, took control to create a decider.
The opponent rescued four early opportunities in a competitive final set before the champion won the break to 15 to secure the win.
Suitably, he clinched victory with a point at the net area, with the Frenchman failing to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
