19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his initial trophy for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the competition final.
The Russian, a former number one, has experienced a difficult year, achieving just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in especial - led to him dropping out of the world's top 10 and eventually parting ways with long-time mentor Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently progressed in the past month - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over opponent Moutet.
This represents his initial championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt since spring of that year.
Success also indicates the Russian has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 distinct events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a competition with my both daughters together, so to secure a title is really nice," said tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter her name, because the initial championship I won when my child my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six title deciders, featuring in that event earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching strategy and frequent reactions on court had caused observers to doubt if his skill to perform at the top level was concluded.
But the player has made changes in recent weeks, attempting to come to the net and compete aggressively, supported by an enhanced serving game.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the challenging Frenchman, taking 4 of the final five points to take the lead.
The pair swapped service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his maiden professional championship, seized the initiative to force a third set.
The opponent defended 4 early-game chances in a competitive third set before Medvedev broke to that score to close out the victory.
Fittingly, the winner secured the win with a point at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a return after over two and a half hours.
