19 of the Russian's 21 championships have been earned on hard courts
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev won his first title for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging year, winning just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the American major.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serve in particular - caused him dropping out of the top ten and eventually separating with former coach Gilles Cervara.
Now training with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily improved in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought competitive win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first trophy following the Rome competition and initial on a hard surface from March of the previous year.
Success also means he has achieved 21 victories at twenty-one various tournaments.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my both daughters at once, so to win a title is particularly special," commented world number 14 Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter her name, because the first title I won when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his past six finals, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
His retrieving strategy and frequent emotional displays on court had prompted observers to doubt if his skill to play at the highest level was over.
However the athlete has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, making an effort to approach the net and perform assertively, backed up by an better service.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the difficult Moutet, securing 4 of the last five points to go ahead.
The competitors traded breaks in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his first professional championship, seized the initiative to force a decider.
The opponent rescued 4 initial break points in a competitive deciding set before the champion won the break to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned the win with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a volley after a lengthy match.
