19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hardcourt
A comeback Medvedev secured his first trophy for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the competition title decider.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging period, winning just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in particular - led to him exiting of the top ten and finally splitting with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the past month - peaking in a closely contested three-set victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden title following the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface after March of the previous year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has won twenty-one championships at twenty-one various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a tournament with my children at once, so to get a title is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my child my daughter, because the first title I got when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his past six finals, comprising in the German tournament earlier this year.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and regular reactions on the playing surface had caused observers to wonder if his skill to compete at the highest level was over.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, attempting to advance forward and compete assertively, reinforced by an better service.
The champion came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, taking 4 of the concluding five points to take the lead.
The competitors swapped breaks in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his maiden tour championship, gained dominance to force a third set.
The opponent rescued four early-game break points in a close third set before the Russian won the break to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the title with a shot at the net area, with his opponent incapable to manage a volley after a lengthy match.
