19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has had a torrid season, managing just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serve in especial - led to him dropping out of the world's top 10 and eventually separating with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Now training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought three-set win over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's initial title since the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt since that period of 2023.
Success also indicates he has won 21 championships at twenty-one different events.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my both daughters together, so to win a title is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my child her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his last six championship matches, featuring in that event in the past months.
The player's counter-punching approach and frequent reactions on the playing surface had caused commentators to question if his capacity to compete at the top level was finished.
But the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to approach the net and play aggressively, backed up by an improved serving game.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the difficult opponent, winning 4 of the concluding five points to take the lead.
The competitors exchanged service breaks in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his initial professional championship, took control to force a final set.
He defended 4 initial opportunities in a close third set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner earned the title with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman unable to handle a return after a lengthy match.
