19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player secured his maiden championship for over two years with success over opponent Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a difficult year, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in particular - led to him dropping out of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently working with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently improved in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface from that period of 2023.
Success also indicates the Russian has achieved 21 victories at twenty-one different tournaments.
"For the first time I'm at a competition with my both daughters together, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," said tennis professional the champion.
"This victory is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, including in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's counter-punching approach and recurring emotional displays on the tennis court had caused observers to doubt if his capacity to play at the elite level was finished.
However the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and perform positively, supported by an better service.
He came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the challenging Frenchman, taking 4 of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
The pair swapped breaks in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his first professional title, took control to create a final set.
He saved four initial opportunities in a close third set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to close out the victory.
Appropriately, Medvedev clinched victory with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a shot after over two and a half hours.
