Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been earned on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the competition final.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has endured a torrid year, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and finally parting ways with long-term coach Cervara.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually improved in the last few weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set victory over Frenchman Moutet.
It is the player's maiden title following the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court from that period of that year.
Success also means Medvedev has secured twenty-one championships at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to win a trophy is particularly special," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his last six finals, featuring in that event earlier this year.
Medvedev's retrieving play style and recurring reactions on the playing surface had led commentators to doubt if his skill to perform at the top level was over.
However the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, making an effort to advance forward and perform positively, reinforced by an improved serve.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, securing four of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his first professional championship, seized the initiative to force a decider.
The opponent saved 4 initial break points in a competitive final set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, he clinched victory with a shot at the net, with his opponent unable to handle a shot after over two and a half hours.
