19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev secured his first championship for over two years with success over opponent Moutet in the competition final.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a difficult period, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in specific - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and ultimately splitting with former coach his previous coach.
Presently collaborating with Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested competitive triumph over opponent Moutet.
This represents the player's first championship after the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface after spring of 2023.
The win also indicates the Russian has secured twenty-one victories at 21 different events.
"It's the first time I have attended a competition with my children at once, so to get a trophy is really nice," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my second daughter my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six title deciders, featuring in that event previously this season.
The player's counter-punching play style and regular emotional displays on court had prompted observers to doubt if his skill to compete at the elite level was finished.
Yet the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and compete aggressively, supported by an enhanced serve.
He came back from a break down in the first set against the challenging opponent, winning four of the final five points to take the lead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the second set before Moutet, striving for his first ATP Tour championship, gained dominance to force a final set.
He rescued 4 initial chances in a competitive final set before Medvedev won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Appropriately, he clinched victory with a point at the net area, with the Frenchman unable to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
