19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard surfaces
A comeback Daniil Medvedev secured his first championship for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the competition final.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has endured a torrid year, achieving just one win at the big events and suffering a setback at the American major.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his serving in specific - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally parting ways with long-time coach his previous coach.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over challenger Moutet.
It is the player's initial title since the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court from March of 2023.
Success also signifies the Russian has won 21 championships at 21 distinct competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a competition with my children simultaneously, so to win a championship is really nice," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my second daughter her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six title deciders, featuring in that event previously this season.
The player's retrieving approach and frequent reactions on the tennis court had caused some to question if his skill to play at the highest level was finished.
However the athlete has altered his approach in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and perform positively, supported by an improved service.
Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the first set against the challenging Moutet, winning four of the final five games to take the lead.
The pair exchanged breaks in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his first tour championship, gained dominance to force a final set.
The opponent saved 4 early opportunities in a competitive third set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner clinched the win with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
