Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A comeback Medvedev won his first trophy for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has endured a difficult period, achieving just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and issues with his serving in specific - resulted in him exiting of the world's top 10 and finally parting ways with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Presently working with Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently progressed in the past month - culminating in a closely contested three-set win over opponent Moutet.
It is his maiden title after the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard court after that period of the previous year.
Victory also means the Russian has secured 21 victories at 21 different tournaments.
"For the first time I am participating in a competition with my children simultaneously, so to win a trophy is really nice," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my child Victoria, because the first title I won when my child her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, comprising in Halle previously this season.
The player's counter-punching approach and frequent reactions on the tennis court had caused observers to wonder if his ability to perform at the highest level was finished.
But the athlete has made changes in the past month, striving to come to the net and play positively, backed up by an better serve.
Medvedev came back from a deficit in the first set against the difficult opponent, securing 4 of the final five games to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial professional championship, took control to push for a decider.
Moutet defended four early chances in a tight third set before the champion secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner earned the win with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
