Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hard courts
A comeback Medvedev won his maiden championship for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has had a difficult period, managing just one match at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.
His unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serve in particular - led to him exiting of the world's top 10 and finally parting ways with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Now working with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought competitive win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden championship following the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt from that period of the previous year.
The win also signifies the Russian has achieved twenty-one championships at twenty-one different tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my both daughters together, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I won when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six finals, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's defensive approach and regular outbursts on court had led observers to question if his ability to play at the elite level was finished.
However the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, making an effort to approach the net and compete assertively, supported by an better serving game.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, winning four of the concluding five points to take the lead.
The competitors swapped break points in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial professional title, took control to force a decider.
The opponent defended 4 early-game chances in a close third set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he secured victory with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
