Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden trophy for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has endured a challenging year, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his service game in specific - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately separating with former coach Gilles Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has steadily progressed in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought competitive triumph over challenger Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden championship since the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt since that period of that year.
Victory also indicates the Russian has achieved 21 victories at 21 different competitions.
"For the first time I'm at a tournament with my two daughters together, so to secure a championship is particularly special," said tennis professional Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I won when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his last six finals, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's counter-punching approach and frequent outbursts on court had caused observers to wonder if his ability to compete at the elite level was finished.
Yet the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and play aggressively, supported by an enhanced serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult opponent, winning 4 of the concluding five games to take the lead.
Both players swapped service breaks in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his initial tour championship, took control to create a final set.
The opponent rescued four initial opportunities in a close final set before Medvedev broke to fifteen to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev clinched the win with a rally at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
