Nineteen of the Russian's 21 titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his initial trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a former world number one, has endured a difficult year, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serving in particular - led to him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately separating with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Now training with his coach and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently progressed in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents his maiden championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface after March of the previous year.
The win also means the Russian has secured twenty-one championships at 21 various events.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my both daughters simultaneously, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I won when my child her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, comprising in that event in the past months.
His counter-punching play style and regular outbursts on the playing surface had led observers to wonder if his skill to compete at the top level was over.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and perform positively, reinforced by an better service.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the tricky Frenchman, taking 4 of the final five points to take the lead.
The pair swapped service breaks in the second set before the challenger, striving for his maiden tour victory, seized the initiative to force a final set.
He saved 4 early-game break points in a tight third set before the champion broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, he clinched victory with a point at the net, with his opponent failing to control a return after a lengthy match.
