19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev secured his first trophy for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has endured a torrid period, managing just one win at the big events and undergoing a setback at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and finally separating with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Presently collaborating with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought three-set triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks his maiden championship after the Italian tournament and maiden on a hardcourt since spring of the previous year.
The win also indicates the Russian has won 21 championships at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my children simultaneously, so to win a championship is really nice," commented ranked player the champion.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my child her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his last six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
His counter-punching approach and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had caused some to doubt if his skill to play at the highest level was concluded.
However the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, attempting to come to the net and play positively, backed up by an improved service.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, winning four of the last five points to take the lead.
The competitors traded service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first ATP Tour title, took control to create a third set.
He saved 4 early opportunities in a tight deciding set before the Russian broke to fifteen to close out the victory.
Suitably, he clinched the win with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a shot after over two and a half hours.
