Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev won his first title for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has experienced a torrid year, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serving in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally parting ways with long-term mentor his previous coach.
Currently working with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's first title since the Rome competition and initial on a hard surface after that period of the previous year.
Victory also signifies he has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 distinct events.
"For the first time I'm at a competition with my children together, so to win a title is particularly special," commented ranked player the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my child her name was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching play style and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted observers to question if his skill to compete at the highest level was finished.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and play positively, backed up by an better serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky Moutet, winning four of the final five games to go ahead.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his initial tour title, gained dominance to force a third set.
He saved four early-game opportunities in a competitive final set before the Russian broke to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, he secured victory with a shot at the net, with Moutet incapable to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
