Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his initial title for over two years with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a torrid year, managing just one match at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the US Open.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in specific - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with former coach his previous coach.
Currently training with Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought competitive win over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's first trophy since the Italian tournament and first on a hard court since March of that year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has won 21 titles at 21 various events.
"It's the first time I'm at a competition with my two daughters at once, so to get a championship is really nice," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his past six championship matches, including in Halle previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive approach and regular reactions on the playing surface had prompted some to doubt if his capacity to perform at the elite level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and play positively, reinforced by an improved service.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, winning four of the concluding five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first professional championship, seized the initiative to force a decider.
The opponent saved four early-game chances in a competitive final set before the champion secured a break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev clinched the title with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
