19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A comeback the Russian player claimed his first championship for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the competition final.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a torrid period, achieving just one match at the big events and experiencing a setback at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in particular - caused him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's initial trophy since the Rome competition and initial on a hardcourt after March of 2023.
The win also indicates the Russian has secured 21 championships at 21 distinct events.
"For the first time I am participating in a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to win a title is particularly special," stated tennis professional Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I won when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had failed in his previous six title deciders, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
The player's retrieving approach and recurring emotional displays on the playing surface had led commentators to doubt if his capacity to compete at the elite level was finished.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and compete positively, supported by an better serve.
He fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the challenging opponent, winning four of the concluding five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his first tour championship, took control to create a decider.
Moutet defended 4 early-game opportunities in a competitive final set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev secured the title with a shot at the front of the court, with Moutet unable to control a return after over two and a half hours.
