Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player won his maiden championship for over two years with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid year, winning just a single victory at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in especial - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with long-term coach Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently improved in the last few weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive win over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks the player's initial trophy since the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface from that period of the previous year.
Success also signifies he has secured 21 victories at 21 distinct events.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my both daughters at once, so to get a title is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, including in that event in the past months.
The player's counter-punching play style and frequent emotional displays on court had caused observers to question if his capacity to play at the top level was over.
Yet the player has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and perform assertively, reinforced by an improved serve.
He came back from a deficit in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, taking four of the concluding five games to go ahead.
The competitors swapped break points in the following set before the challenger, striving for his first tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a final set.
Moutet rescued four early chances in a competitive deciding set before the Russian broke to that score to serve for the match.
Appropriately, the winner earned victory with a point at the net, with his opponent failing to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
