Nineteen of the Russian's 21 victories have been achieved on hardcourt
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his first trophy for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging period, winning just one win at the big events and undergoing a setback at the New York tournament.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serve in specific - caused him exiting of the elite rankings and finally splitting with long-term mentor Cervara.
Currently working with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought three-set victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents his first trophy following the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt after that period of the previous year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 different events.
"For the first time I am participating in a competition with my children at once, so to win a trophy is particularly special," stated world number 14 Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my child her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his past six championship matches, comprising in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive approach and regular outbursts on the tennis court had caused commentators to wonder if his ability to play at the top level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, striving to advance forward and compete positively, backed up by an better serving game.
He came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, securing four of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to create a final set.
He rescued four early break points in a competitive third set before the champion secured a break to that score to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner secured the win with a shot at the net area, with Moutet unable to handle a shot after a lengthy match.
