Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his maiden title for over two years with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has experienced a torrid season, winning just a single victory at the big events and suffering a setback at the US Open.
His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - led to him falling of the top ten and ultimately splitting with long-time mentor Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought three-set win over opponent Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden title since the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard surface from that period of 2023.
Success also means the Russian has won twenty-one victories at 21 different competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my two daughters at once, so to secure a trophy is really nice," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter Victoria, because the first title I won when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his past six title deciders, comprising in Halle previously this season.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had led observers to doubt if his ability to perform at the highest level was finished.
Yet the player has made changes in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and perform positively, supported by an improved serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, winning 4 of the final five points to take the lead.
The competitors traded breaks in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his first professional championship, gained dominance to create a third set.
The opponent saved four early-game opportunities in a tight deciding set before the Russian broke to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured the title with a rally at the net, with his opponent incapable to handle a volley after a lengthy match.
