19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev secured his first trophy for nearly 30 months with success over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a difficult year, managing just one win at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in particular - resulted in him exiting of the elite rankings and finally splitting with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set win over challenger Moutet.
It is Medvedev's maiden title since the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt from March of that year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has secured 21 victories at twenty-one various events.
"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is really nice," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my child her name, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
His defensive strategy and regular reactions on the playing surface had led observers to doubt if his capacity to play at the elite level was concluded.
But the player has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and perform positively, backed up by an improved serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, securing 4 of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
Both players swapped break points in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his initial tour championship, took control to create a final set.
Moutet rescued four initial break points in a tight deciding set before the Russian secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the win with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
