Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev secured his first championship for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has had a challenging season, achieving just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a setback at the US Open.
His unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his service game in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and finally splitting with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive victory over opponent Moutet.
It is Medvedev's first title after the Italian tournament and first on a hard court from that period of 2023.
The win also means Medvedev has achieved 21 titles at 21 different events.
"It's the first time I am participating in a tournament with my two daughters together, so to secure a championship is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and frequent reactions on the tennis court had prompted some to wonder if his skill to perform at the elite level was finished.
But the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to come to the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an better serving game.
He came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging opponent, taking 4 of the final five games to go ahead.
Both players exchanged break points in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his first professional victory, gained dominance to push for a final set.
The opponent rescued 4 initial break points in a competitive final set before the champion won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev clinched the win with a rally at the net area, with his opponent failing to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
