Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 championships have been achieved on hard courts
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev won his maiden championship for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has experienced a challenging year, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in specific - caused him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with former coach Cervara.
Presently training with his coach and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set win over challenger Moutet.
This marks the player's first championship following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard court since March of the previous year.
The win also means the Russian has won 21 victories at twenty-one different competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a competition with my both daughters together, so to get a trophy is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had lost his past six finals, featuring in that event previously this season.
His counter-punching play style and recurring emotional displays on court had caused observers to doubt if his capacity to perform at the highest level was concluded.
However the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, attempting to approach the net and perform aggressively, reinforced by an improved serve.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, taking 4 of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
The pair traded service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his initial ATP Tour championship, took control to push for a decider.
He saved four early break points in a tight deciding set before the Russian won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev clinched the title with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
