19 of Medvedev's 21 titles have been won on hard surfaces
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his first championship for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has experienced a challenging year, achieving just one win at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the US Open.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in especial - resulted in him falling of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with long-time mentor Cervara.
Currently working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first title after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface from spring of that year.
The win also means he has won twenty-one titles at twenty-one various competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my both daughters simultaneously, so to win a trophy is particularly special," stated tennis professional the champion.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had lost his last six finals, comprising in that event previously this season.
His defensive play style and recurring outbursts on court had led commentators to wonder if his skill to compete at the top level was over.
However the athlete has made changes in the past month, attempting to approach the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an enhanced service.
He recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging opponent, winning 4 of the final five games to go ahead.
The pair traded break points in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to create a third set.
Moutet defended 4 initial opportunities in a tight final set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, he secured the win with a point at the net, with the Frenchman failing to handle a shot after a lengthy match.
