19 of the Russian's 21 victories have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has endured a challenging period, winning just one match at the big events and suffering a difficult moment at the US Open.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has steadily improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set win over challenger Moutet.
It is Medvedev's first championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard surface since spring of the previous year.
Victory also means the Russian has secured 21 victories at 21 different events.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," stated ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had lost his previous six title deciders, including in that event earlier this year.
His defensive strategy and frequent outbursts on the tennis court had prompted commentators to doubt if his skill to perform at the elite level was over.
However the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and perform aggressively, reinforced by an improved service.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, winning 4 of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
The pair exchanged break points in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden professional victory, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
Moutet saved 4 early-game opportunities in a tight deciding set before the Russian won the break to that score to secure the win.
Suitably, he earned the win with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
