19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a challenging year, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the US Open.
His varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serving in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and finally parting ways with long-term trainer Cervara.
Currently working with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a hard-fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents his initial trophy since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface since March of that year.
The win also means the Russian has secured 21 championships at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my children at once, so to get a title is really nice," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his previous six title deciders, featuring in that event earlier this year.
The player's defensive play style and frequent emotional displays on the tennis court had prompted commentators to wonder if his ability to perform at the top level was finished.
However the player has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and perform assertively, backed up by an enhanced serving game.
Medvedev came back from a deficit in the first set against the tricky Moutet, taking 4 of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
The competitors swapped break points in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his first tour championship, took control to force a final set.
The opponent saved 4 initial chances in a tight final set before the champion won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner secured victory with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
