19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent the Russian player secured his initial trophy for nearly 30 months with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has experienced a torrid period, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in particular - caused him dropping out of the world's top 10 and finally separating with former coach his previous coach.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
It is Medvedev's maiden championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt since that period of the previous year.
Success also indicates the Russian has secured 21 titles at twenty-one different events.
"For the first time I'm at a event with my children simultaneously, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I got when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six title deciders, comprising in Halle previously this season.
His retrieving play style and frequent reactions on court had led commentators to wonder if his skill to play at the top level was concluded.
However the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and compete aggressively, supported by an better serving game.
He fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, taking four of the last five points to go ahead.
The pair swapped service breaks in the second set before Moutet, striving for his initial professional title, gained dominance to force a third set.
He defended four early opportunities in a close deciding set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, Medvedev earned the title with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
