19 of Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with success over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament final.
The athlete, a former world number one, has had a challenging year, managing just one win at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in specific - led to him exiting of the top ten and eventually parting ways with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Presently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's first trophy after the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt after spring of 2023.
Victory also indicates the Russian has won 21 victories at twenty-one distinct events.
"For the first time I am participating in a event with my both daughters at once, so to secure a championship is particularly special," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, including in that event in the past months.
His defensive strategy and frequent reactions on the tennis court had led some to doubt if his ability to play at the top level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and play aggressively, reinforced by an improved serving game.
He came back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, taking 4 of the concluding five games to take the lead.
The competitors traded service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, bidding for his maiden tour victory, gained dominance to push for a decider.
Moutet saved 4 early chances in a tight deciding set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Appropriately, he secured victory with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to control a return after over two and a half hours.
