Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his initial championship for over two years with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a challenging season, winning just a single victory at the big events and suffering a setback at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his service game in especial - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with long-time coach his previous coach.
Now training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has steadily improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested competitive victory over opponent Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's first title following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hardcourt from that period of 2023.
Victory also means the Russian has secured twenty-one titles at twenty-one various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my children simultaneously, so to win a title is really nice," commented ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my child her name, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had lost his past six title deciders, including in Halle previously this season.
The player's retrieving play style and regular reactions on the tennis court had prompted observers to wonder if his capacity to perform at the elite level was finished.
However the athlete has made changes in the last few weeks, attempting to come to the net and play assertively, backed up by an improved serve.
The champion came back from a break down in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, taking 4 of the final five points to go ahead.
The pair traded break points in the middle set before Moutet, bidding for his maiden professional championship, gained dominance to create a final set.
The opponent defended 4 early-game chances in a close final set before the Russian broke to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the title with a shot at the net, with Moutet incapable to manage a return after a lengthy match.
