Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev won his maiden title for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has experienced a torrid year, managing just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a setback at the American major.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serving in particular - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally separating with long-term mentor Cervara.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden trophy since the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface after that period of that year.
Success also signifies the Russian has won twenty-one championships at twenty-one different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my children simultaneously, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I won when my first daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, featuring in the German tournament earlier this year.
His retrieving play style and frequent outbursts on the tennis court had led observers to question if his skill to perform at the top level was finished.
But the player has made changes in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and compete assertively, reinforced by an improved serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, winning 4 of the concluding five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, bidding for his maiden professional championship, gained dominance to push for a final set.
He saved four initial break points in a competitive deciding set before the Russian secured a break to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner earned the title with a shot at the net area, with his opponent incapable to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
