Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player won his initial title for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has endured a torrid year, winning just a single victory at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the US Open.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and issues with his serving in especial - caused him falling of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Presently training with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the recent weeks - culminating in a hard-fought three-set victory over opponent Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden trophy after the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard court from spring of the previous year.
Success also signifies Medvedev has secured twenty-one championships at 21 various competitions.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is especially meaningful," commented ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
The player's defensive approach and recurring emotional displays on the tennis court had led some to doubt if his skill to perform at the highest level was finished.
Yet the player has made changes in the past month, attempting to advance forward and perform aggressively, reinforced by an better serve.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, taking 4 of the final five points to go ahead.
Both players exchanged breaks in the second set before Moutet, striving for his maiden professional title, seized the initiative to force a final set.
He rescued 4 early-game chances in a competitive deciding set before the champion secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Fittingly, the winner earned the title with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
