19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player won his initial championship for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has had a torrid period, winning just one match at the big events and suffering a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serving in especial - caused him falling of the elite rankings and eventually separating with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently improved in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested competitive triumph over opponent Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's first title after the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt since March of 2023.
Victory also means he has secured twenty-one championships at 21 distinct competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my children together, so to get a title is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six title deciders, featuring in that event previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive approach and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had prompted observers to doubt if his ability to play at the highest level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to advance forward and compete assertively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, winning 4 of the final five exchanges to go ahead.
Both players swapped break points in the following set before Moutet, attempting for his first tour title, took control to force a third set.
Moutet saved four initial opportunities in a tight final set before the champion secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner secured victory with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to manage a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
