19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev won his initial title for 882 days with success over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has had a torrid year, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
His varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serving in specific - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with former coach his previous coach.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents the player's initial trophy since the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface from that period of the previous year.
Success also indicates the Russian has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 different tournaments.
"It's the first time I'm at a competition with my both daughters at once, so to get a championship is particularly special," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the maiden victory I won when my child her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his past six finals, including in that event in the past months.
The player's counter-punching approach and frequent outbursts on the tennis court had prompted some to wonder if his capacity to play at the highest level was over.
But the player has made changes in the past month, striving to approach the net and perform positively, supported by an improved serve.
He came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky Moutet, securing 4 of the last five games to go ahead.
The pair swapped service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his initial ATP Tour title, took control to force a decider.
He rescued four early-game chances in a competitive final set before Medvedev won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Appropriately, Medvedev earned the title with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
