Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has had a difficult period, managing just a single victory at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in specific - led to him falling of the elite rankings and finally separating with long-time mentor his previous coach.
Presently training with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a tightly fought three-set win over opponent Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hardcourt after that period of 2023.
The win also signifies he has secured twenty-one victories at twenty-one different events.
"It's the first time I am participating in a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is especially meaningful," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's retrieving approach and regular emotional displays on court had led commentators to doubt if his ability to compete at the top level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in the past month, attempting to come to the net and perform aggressively, reinforced by an better service.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging Moutet, taking four of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged break points in the second set before Moutet, striving for his first professional championship, took control to create a decider.
He saved 4 early-game break points in a tight final set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner secured the title with a rally at the net area, with his opponent unable to manage a shot after a lengthy match.
