19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his initial trophy for over two years with success over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has had a torrid year, managing just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the American major.
His unpredictability on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in particular - caused him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the recent weeks - culminating in a closely contested competitive triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents the player's initial trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt after spring of the previous year.
Success also means he has secured twenty-one victories at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a title is particularly special," commented tennis professional Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the first title I got when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his previous six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's counter-punching approach and recurring outbursts on court had led observers to wonder if his capacity to compete at the top level was concluded.
Yet the athlete has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and play positively, backed up by an improved serving game.
Medvedev came back from a break down in the opening set against the challenging opponent, securing 4 of the final five games to gain the advantage.
Both players swapped breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his initial ATP Tour championship, took control to push for a final set.
He defended four early-game break points in a tight third set before Medvedev broke to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, he secured the win with a shot at the net, with his opponent failing to manage a return after over two and a half hours.
