19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Medvedev won his first championship for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a difficult season, achieving just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
His varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his service game in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Now working with his coach and his other coach, he has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents his initial title following the Rome competition and first on a hard surface since spring of that year.
Victory also means the Russian has secured 21 victories at 21 distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a competition with my children at once, so to secure a trophy is particularly special," commented ranked player the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my child her name, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had failed in his previous six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament earlier this year.
His defensive approach and regular emotional displays on the tennis court had caused commentators to wonder if his ability to play at the elite level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in the past month, striving to come to the net and perform aggressively, supported by an improved serving game.
The champion came back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, winning 4 of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
The competitors swapped break points in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden tour victory, seized the initiative to create a decider.
Moutet rescued 4 early opportunities in a tight final set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, he earned the win with a shot at the net, with his opponent unable to control a volley after over two and a half hours.
