Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been won on hard courts
A resurgent Medvedev won his initial trophy for 882 days with success over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a torrid year, winning just one match at the big events and experiencing a setback at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in especial - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and finally separating with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over challenger Moutet.
It is the player's initial championship following the Italian tournament and first on a hard court from March of that year.
Success also means he has achieved 21 victories at twenty-one different tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a title is really nice," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my child my daughter, because the maiden victory I won when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six title deciders, comprising in that event previously this season.
The player's defensive play style and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had caused commentators to wonder if his ability to compete at the top level was finished.
But the player has made changes in the last few weeks, attempting to approach the net and play aggressively, supported by an better service.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the first set against the challenging Moutet, securing four of the final five exchanges to take the lead.
Both players traded service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his first professional victory, gained dominance to force a decider.
Moutet defended 4 initial opportunities in a close final set before the champion won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Suitably, he earned victory with a rally at the net area, with his opponent incapable to handle a shot after over two and a half hours.
