Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 championships have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev secured his first championship for over two years with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has had a torrid period, winning just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with former mentor Cervara.
Now collaborating with his coach and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's initial championship following the Rome competition and first on a hard court from March of that year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has secured 21 victories at 21 different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my children simultaneously, so to secure a title is really nice," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, featuring in that event previously this season.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and regular outbursts on the playing surface had led observers to wonder if his ability to perform at the top level was finished.
Yet the player has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to approach the net and perform positively, backed up by an enhanced serve.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the difficult Moutet, taking 4 of the final five points to take the lead.
Both players traded breaks in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to force a final set.
He defended 4 initial break points in a competitive final set before Medvedev secured a break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev clinched victory with a point at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
