19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player won his first trophy for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
Medvedev, a former number one, has had a challenging period, winning just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the US Open.
His unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serve in especial - led to him falling of the top ten and eventually separating with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Presently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually improved in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents his first championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard court since spring of 2023.
Success also signifies the Russian has won twenty-one championships at 21 distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my both daughters together, so to get a title is really nice," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his last six championship matches, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's defensive approach and regular reactions on court had led observers to doubt if his capacity to perform at the highest level was concluded.
However the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, making an effort to advance forward and play aggressively, backed up by an better service.
The champion came back from a break down in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, winning 4 of the last five points to go ahead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his maiden tour title, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
The opponent saved four initial chances in a tight final set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned the win with a rally at the net area, with Moutet incapable to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
