19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent the Russian player won his initial championship for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the competition final.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a challenging season, managing just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his service game in especial - caused him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately splitting with long-time mentor Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily improved in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested competitive win over challenger Moutet.
It is his initial title following the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court after that period of that year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has achieved 21 championships at twenty-one distinct events.
"For the first time I'm at a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to win a title is really nice," said world number 14 Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my second daughter her name, because the maiden victory I got when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his past six championship matches, including in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and regular outbursts on the playing surface had prompted some to wonder if his capacity to compete at the highest level was over.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and play positively, reinforced by an improved serving game.
The champion recovered from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, taking four of the final five exchanges to take the lead.
The pair traded service breaks in the following set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden tour title, gained dominance to create a decider.
The opponent rescued four initial opportunities in a competitive third set before Medvedev broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he secured the title with a shot at the net area, with his opponent unable to control a shot after a lengthy match.
