19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hardcourt
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his first title for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a difficult year, managing just one win at the big events and undergoing a setback at the American major.
His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serve in specific - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with former mentor his previous coach.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set win over challenger Moutet.
It is his maiden title following the Rome competition and maiden on a hardcourt after that period of 2023.
Victory also means Medvedev has secured twenty-one victories at twenty-one various events.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my child my daughter, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his last six championship matches, featuring in that event in the past months.
His defensive play style and frequent outbursts on the playing surface had led observers to doubt if his ability to play at the highest level was finished.
However the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and perform positively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
He came back from a deficit in the first set against the challenging opponent, winning four of the last five points to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first professional victory, gained dominance to push for a third set.
Moutet defended 4 initial chances in a tight final set before the champion broke to 15 to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned victory with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
