19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his first trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has experienced a challenging period, winning just one win at the major tournaments and undergoing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately separating with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now working with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently progressed in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Moutet.
It is the player's first trophy since the Italian tournament and first on a hard court after spring of that year.
Success also means the Russian has won 21 titles at twenty-one distinct events.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my two daughters at once, so to secure a championship is particularly special," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his previous six title deciders, comprising in Halle previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive approach and regular emotional displays on court had led commentators to wonder if his skill to compete at the elite level was concluded.
Yet the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and compete aggressively, supported by an enhanced serve.
He came back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, securing four of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded break points in the middle set before the Frenchman, striving for his maiden tour title, took control to push for a decider.
Moutet defended four early-game opportunities in a competitive third set before the Russian broke to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev earned the win with a point at the net area, with his opponent unable to manage a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
