Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev secured his initial championship for nearly 30 months with success over Frenchman Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has endured a torrid period, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a meltdown at the US Open.
Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in particular - led to him falling of the top ten and ultimately separating with long-time mentor his previous coach.
Currently training with Johansson and Goetzke, he has gradually improved in the last few weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set victory over opponent Moutet.
It is Medvedev's initial trophy since the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface after March of that year.
Victory also means Medvedev has won twenty-one titles at 21 various tournaments.
"For the first time I am participating in a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to win a title is really nice," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
His counter-punching approach and frequent emotional displays on the tennis court had caused observers to question if his capacity to perform at the top level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to come to the net and play aggressively, reinforced by an better service.
The champion recovered from a break down in the initial set against the difficult Moutet, securing four of the final five games to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped break points in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial professional title, took control to force a third set.
The opponent saved four early chances in a tight third set before the champion secured a break to 15 to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner secured the win with a point at the net, with Moutet failing to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
