Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his initial championship for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a challenging period, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the US Open.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serve in especial - led to him dropping out of the top ten and eventually separating with former coach his previous coach.
Presently working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually advanced in the recent weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks the player's maiden title after the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt after spring of the previous year.
The win also indicates the Russian has won twenty-one titles at 21 different events.
"It's the first time I have attended a competition with my both daughters at once, so to get a championship is particularly special," said tennis professional Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my second daughter her name, because the initial championship I got when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had failed in his previous six title deciders, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
His defensive approach and regular outbursts on the tennis court had prompted commentators to doubt if his capacity to play at the elite level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, striving to advance forward and compete assertively, reinforced by an better serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the first set against the tricky opponent, taking four of the last five points to take the lead.
The competitors traded break points in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first tour championship, gained dominance to create a final set.
The opponent saved four early chances in a close deciding set before the Russian broke to fifteen to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured the title with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
