Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over opponent Moutet in the competition title decider.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has had a torrid year, achieving just one win at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
His unpredictability on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in specific - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually parting ways with long-term mentor Cervara.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a hard-fought competitive win over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks the player's initial title following the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt from that period of 2023.
Victory also indicates Medvedev has won twenty-one titles at 21 various competitions.
"For the first time I am participating in a event with my both daughters at once, so to get a title is particularly special," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter her name, because the maiden victory I won when my child Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his past six finals, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
The player's retrieving play style and regular reactions on the tennis court had caused observers to doubt if his ability to compete at the top level was over.
But the player has altered his approach in the past month, striving to approach the net and perform assertively, reinforced by an better serving game.
He fought back from a deficit in the first set against the tricky Moutet, winning 4 of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged break points in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his first ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to push for a decider.
Moutet rescued four early break points in a close third set before Medvedev broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev secured the win with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
