19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hard courts
A revitalized Medvedev claimed his initial championship for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
The Russian, a former world number one, has experienced a torrid period, achieving just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the American major.
His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - resulted in him falling of the world's top 10 and finally parting ways with long-term coach Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily advanced in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested competitive win over opponent Moutet.
This marks the player's first championship after the Italian tournament and maiden on a hardcourt since that period of that year.
Success also means Medvedev has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 distinct tournaments.
"For the first time I'm at a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," said tennis professional Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I won when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six finals, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's counter-punching approach and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had led some to doubt if his ability to perform at the elite level was finished.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and compete positively, reinforced by an better serve.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, winning four of the concluding five points to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged breaks in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden professional title, seized the initiative to force a decider.
Moutet rescued 4 early-game chances in a close third set before the champion secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Suitably, the winner earned victory with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman unable to manage a return after a lengthy match.
