19 of the Russian's 21 championships have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his first trophy for over two years with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a difficult period, winning just one win at the big events and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serving in specific - caused him exiting of the top ten and eventually splitting with long-term coach his previous coach.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has gradually advanced in the recent weeks - culminating in a tightly fought three-set win over challenger Moutet.
This represents his initial trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt after spring of 2023.
The win also indicates he has won twenty-one victories at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a tournament with my children simultaneously, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I won when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six title deciders, featuring in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching approach and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had led observers to wonder if his capacity to play at the highest level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to come to the net and perform assertively, backed up by an enhanced service.
He recovered from a break down in the initial set against the difficult Moutet, winning four of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged break points in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his maiden tour championship, took control to push for a third set.
Moutet saved four initial opportunities in a competitive final set before the champion broke to 15 to secure the win.
Suitably, he clinched victory with a shot at the net area, with Moutet unable to handle a return after a lengthy match.
