Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his initial title for over two years with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has experienced a difficult year, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - resulted in him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with long-term trainer Cervara.
Currently training with Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently progressed in the past month - peaking in a tightly fought competitive win over challenger Moutet.
This marks his maiden title after the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard court since March of 2023.
Victory also indicates Medvedev has achieved twenty-one victories at 21 different competitions.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my children together, so to get a championship is especially meaningful," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my child her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his past six championship matches, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's defensive strategy and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had led commentators to wonder if his ability to compete at the elite level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to advance forward and play positively, backed up by an better service.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, securing 4 of the last five points to gain the advantage.
Both players traded break points in the following set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden ATP Tour championship, seized the initiative to force a decider.
He defended 4 early opportunities in a tight deciding set before the Russian secured a break to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner earned victory with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to handle a shot after a lengthy match.
