19 of Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev secured his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with success over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has endured a difficult season, managing just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in specific - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately separating with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hardcourt since that period of 2023.
Success also signifies Medvedev has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to win a championship is really nice," stated ranked player Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six finals, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
Medvedev's retrieving play style and recurring emotional displays on the playing surface had led commentators to wonder if his capacity to compete at the elite level was concluded.
Yet the athlete has implemented adjustments in the past month, making an effort to come to the net and play aggressively, supported by an improved serving game.
The champion recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the challenging Frenchman, taking four of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded break points in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his first ATP Tour championship, took control to push for a decider.
He rescued 4 early-game chances in a competitive final set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev secured victory with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
