19 of the Russian's 21 championships have been won on hard courts
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his initial title for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has had a challenging year, winning just a single victory at the big events and undergoing a setback at the New York tournament.
His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serve in specific - caused him exiting of the top ten and finally separating with long-time trainer Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has steadily improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought three-set victory over opponent Moutet.
It is his initial title since the Rome competition and maiden on a hardcourt from spring of the previous year.
The win also indicates he has won 21 titles at 21 different competitions.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my both daughters together, so to get a trophy is particularly special," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his last six finals, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's defensive play style and regular outbursts on court had prompted observers to wonder if his ability to perform at the elite level was over.
Yet the player has made changes in the past month, attempting to come to the net and perform positively, reinforced by an enhanced serve.
He fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky opponent, winning 4 of the final five games to go ahead.
The pair exchanged break points in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden tour victory, seized the initiative to force a decider.
Moutet rescued four early-game break points in a competitive deciding set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner secured the title with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman failing to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
