19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his maiden trophy for over two years with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament final.
The Russian, a former world number one, has endured a challenging period, managing just one win at the big events and suffering a difficult moment at the American major.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serving in particular - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's initial trophy since the Rome competition and first on a hard court since spring of 2023.
Victory also indicates Medvedev has achieved 21 victories at 21 various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I won when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his past six title deciders, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's retrieving approach and recurring emotional displays on court had prompted commentators to question if his skill to play at the elite level was over.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and perform aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
He came back from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky opponent, winning 4 of the concluding five exchanges to gain the advantage.
Both players traded break points in the second set before Moutet, striving for his first professional championship, seized the initiative to create a final set.
Moutet defended 4 early chances in a close third set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Suitably, Medvedev clinched the title with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to manage a return after a lengthy match.
