Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev won his first trophy for over two years with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The athlete, a former number one, has had a difficult period, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the New York tournament.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in specific - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and finally separating with long-term coach Gilles Cervara.
Now training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested competitive victory over opponent Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden trophy following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard court from that period of 2023.
The win also signifies he has secured twenty-one titles at 21 distinct events.
"For the first time I'm at a competition with my children simultaneously, so to secure a championship is particularly special," said ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my child my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
Medvedev's retrieving play style and frequent reactions on the tennis court had led commentators to question if his skill to play at the elite level was concluded.
However the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, making an effort to advance forward and compete aggressively, backed up by an improved serving game.
He recovered from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, securing four of the last five points to take the lead.
The competitors traded service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his first ATP Tour championship, gained dominance to force a third set.
The opponent defended four early chances in a close final set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Appropriately, the winner clinched victory with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman unable to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
