19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev secured his first trophy for over two years with success over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a former world number one, has had a torrid year, achieving just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in especial - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought competitive win over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's first championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard court since spring of 2023.
Victory also indicates the Russian has secured twenty-one championships at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my two daughters at once, so to get a title is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I got when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's retrieving strategy and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had led some to question if his skill to play at the highest level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has made changes in the past month, striving to come to the net and compete aggressively, reinforced by an better service.
He recovered from a break down in the initial set against the challenging Frenchman, winning four of the last five exchanges to go ahead.
Both players swapped breaks in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden tour victory, took control to push for a decider.
The opponent defended four initial break points in a tight third set before the Russian won the break to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner earned the win with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman unable to manage a shot after a lengthy match.
