Daniil Medvedev began his season with some mediocre outings, and never got going until the midpoint of the campaign. When it comes to the Grand Slams, the former US Open champion earned just one win across the four competitions. After reaching the semifinal at Indian Wells, Medvedev completed a runner-up finish in Halle. Since the US Open, the 29-year-old has impressed with two semifinals and now a summit clash in Kazakhstan. A former World No. 1 with a current ranking of No. 14 in the world, Medvedev has a 64% win ratio in 2025.

Corentin Moutet will hunt down his maiden tour-level title on Sunday. The French southpaw is one of the most entertaining players on the circuit – which justifies his former Top-40 status. This year, Moutet reached the final in Mallorca as well as semifinals in Washington DC and Hangzhou. The No. 8 seed is yet to drop a set this week – earning victories over the likes of Tomic, Shevchenko, Struff and Michelsen. He comes into the final with 77% service games won across the campaign, and 24% return games won.
The head-to-head between Medvedev and Moutet is 1-1. Their most recent encounter was in the quarterfinal of the 2025 Citi DC Open.

After making a change to his coaching team, Daniil Medvedev has looked more assured in his game. The Russian has been landing first serves with more venom, and isn’t afraid to take the attack to his opponents. More than anything, his mental game seems to have improved massively in comparison to the beginning of the season. While Moutet defeated him just two months ago, we believe this version of the former World No. 1 is going to win quite comfortably.
Prediction: Daniil Medvedev in straight sets.
Medvedev (1/3) is the favorite to win the ATP Almaty Open 2025 final against underdog Moutet (9/4). The Russian is likely to take the trophy in straight sets as per the pre-match market. According to the implied probability on the money line, Medvedev has a 75% chance of winning. Given below are all the important odds to know about (as per BetMGM):
