19 of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden championship for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition title decider.
The Russian, a former number one, has experienced a torrid season, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his service game in particular - led to him exiting of the top ten and finally parting ways with long-time trainer Cervara.
Presently collaborating with his coach and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily improved in the last few weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's first trophy after the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard surface after that period of the previous year.
The win also means he has secured 21 victories at twenty-one different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my two daughters together, so to get a championship is particularly special," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six title deciders, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
The player's retrieving strategy and recurring reactions on the playing surface had caused observers to doubt if his ability to compete at the top level was over.
Yet the player has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and perform assertively, backed up by an better serving game.
He came back from a break down in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, securing 4 of the final five games to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged breaks in the second set before the challenger, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to push for a third set.
He defended 4 initial break points in a close deciding set before the champion secured a break to 15 to serve for the match.
Suitably, the winner earned the win with a point at the net area, with Moutet failing to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
