19 of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hardcourt
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev won his initial title for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has had a challenging season, achieving just one win at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in especial - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually parting ways with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Presently working with his coach and his other coach, he has consistently progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents his initial championship since the Rome competition and first on a hard court from spring of that year.
Success also indicates the Russian has achieved twenty-one victories at 21 distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a title is particularly special," said ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six finals, including in Halle in the past months.
The player's defensive strategy and regular reactions on court had led observers to wonder if his skill to play at the top level was concluded.
However the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, striving to advance forward and compete assertively, reinforced by an better service.
Medvedev fought back from a deficit in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, securing 4 of the final five games to go ahead.
The competitors exchanged break points in the second set before the challenger, striving for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to force a decider.
The opponent saved 4 early break points in a tight deciding set before the champion won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Appropriately, he clinched the win with a point at the net area, with his opponent incapable to manage a shot after a lengthy match.
