19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been won on hard surfaces
A resurgent Medvedev secured his initial title for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a challenging season, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the New York tournament.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in particular - led to him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with long-term mentor Cervara.
Presently working with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought three-set victory over Frenchman Moutet.
It is the player's initial trophy since the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt from March of that year.
Success also signifies Medvedev has achieved 21 championships at 21 different events.
"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my both daughters together, so to secure a title is really nice," commented world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his past six finals, comprising in that event in the past months.
The player's counter-punching strategy and recurring reactions on court had led commentators to question if his skill to play at the highest level was finished.
However the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, making an effort to come to the net and perform aggressively, supported by an better serving game.
He came back from a deficit in the first set against the difficult opponent, winning 4 of the concluding five points to gain the advantage.
The pair traded breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to force a decider.
He rescued four early-game opportunities in a close final set before the champion broke to that score to serve for the match.
Fittingly, the winner earned the win with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
