19 of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his maiden championship for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition title decider.
The athlete, a former world number one, has experienced a challenging period, achieving just one match at the big events and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in specific - resulted in him falling of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with former mentor Cervara.
Currently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested competitive win over opponent Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first trophy following the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt since March of that year.
The win also means the Russian has won twenty-one championships at twenty-one different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my two daughters at once, so to win a trophy is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter her name, because the maiden victory I won when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his previous six championship matches, including in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive approach and frequent reactions on the tennis court had prompted some to doubt if his ability to compete at the highest level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and compete aggressively, reinforced by an better serving game.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the challenging opponent, taking 4 of the concluding five games to go ahead.
Both players traded breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his initial tour title, took control to force a third set.
He defended 4 early-game chances in a competitive final set before Medvedev won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the title with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
