19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A comeback Medvedev won his maiden trophy for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The athlete, a former world number one, has endured a challenging year, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in specific - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and eventually parting ways with former coach Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with his coach and his other coach, he has gradually advanced in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested three-set triumph over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This represents the player's first championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hardcourt after that period of the previous year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has won twenty-one victories at 21 various events.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my both daughters together, so to win a title is especially meaningful," said world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had lost his past six finals, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
His defensive approach and recurring emotional displays on court had led observers to doubt if his skill to perform at the elite level was concluded.
However the athlete has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and play assertively, supported by an better service.
The champion came back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging opponent, winning 4 of the concluding five games to take the lead.
The competitors swapped break points in the following set before the Frenchman, attempting for his first tour victory, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent saved four initial opportunities in a tight deciding set before the champion secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev secured the win with a shot at the net, with Moutet failing to handle a return after a lengthy match.
