Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his initial championship for over two years with success over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a torrid year, managing just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in specific - led to him falling of the elite rankings and eventually parting ways with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently progressed in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set win over opponent Moutet.
This represents the player's first championship following the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court after March of that year.
The win also means Medvedev has won 21 championships at 21 different events.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my both daughters together, so to win a trophy is really nice," stated tennis professional the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I got when my child Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had lost his past six finals, comprising in that event in the past months.
The player's retrieving strategy and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had caused commentators to wonder if his capacity to play at the highest level was concluded.
However the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and play aggressively, reinforced by an better service.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, taking four of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped break points in the following set before Moutet, attempting for his first ATP Tour title, gained dominance to force a decider.
Moutet saved four early break points in a close third set before Medvedev broke to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, he earned the win with a point at the net, with his opponent unable to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
