Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player won his initial trophy for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a former world number one, has had a challenging season, winning just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - resulted in him falling of the elite rankings and finally splitting with long-time coach his previous coach.
Presently working with Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a hard-fought three-set win over opponent Moutet.
It is Medvedev's maiden championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt from March of 2023.
Success also means he has secured twenty-one championships at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my two daughters at once, so to get a championship is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his last six finals, including in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's defensive approach and frequent reactions on court had caused commentators to wonder if his ability to compete at the top level was concluded.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in the past month, striving to approach the net and play assertively, supported by an better service.
He came back from a break down in the opening set against the tricky Frenchman, winning four of the last five exchanges to go ahead.
The pair traded service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial ATP Tour title, gained dominance to push for a third set.
The opponent saved 4 early-game chances in a competitive deciding set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Appropriately, he clinched victory with a shot at the net area, with Moutet incapable to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
