Nineteen of the Russian's 21 titles have been won on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player secured his first title for over two years with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a torrid period, winning just one win at the big events and suffering a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in particular - resulted in him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately separating with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
It is his initial championship following the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface after spring of 2023.
Victory also indicates the Russian has achieved twenty-one victories at 21 distinct events.
"It's the first time I have attended a competition with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a championship is really nice," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had lost his last six finals, comprising in Halle previously this season.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted observers to question if his skill to compete at the top level was over.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, attempting to come to the net and play positively, supported by an enhanced service.
He fought back from a break down in the opening set against the tricky Moutet, taking 4 of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged break points in the second set before the challenger, striving for his maiden tour title, gained dominance to push for a third set.
He saved four early break points in a competitive deciding set before the champion won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev clinched the title with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman unable to manage a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
