19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hard surfaces
A revitalized Medvedev claimed his first title for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has had a torrid period, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and suffering a setback at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serve in particular - led to him dropping out of the top ten and finally parting ways with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with his coach and Goetzke, he has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set triumph over opponent Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first title since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hardcourt since March of 2023.
The win also indicates Medvedev has secured twenty-one titles at 21 different tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my both daughters together, so to get a championship is particularly special," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my first daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching strategy and regular emotional displays on the tennis court had prompted observers to question if his skill to compete at the elite level was finished.
However the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and play assertively, supported by an enhanced service.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, securing four of the concluding five exchanges to go ahead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden professional title, took control to create a third set.
Moutet defended 4 early-game opportunities in a competitive third set before Medvedev broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev clinched victory with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
