Nineteen of the Russian's 21 championships have been won on hard courts
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his first trophy for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has endured a challenging season, achieving just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.
His unpredictability on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in specific - led to him exiting of the top ten and ultimately separating with long-term trainer Cervara.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought competitive victory over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's first trophy after the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard court from that period of 2023.
Success also means he has achieved 21 titles at twenty-one various competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my two daughters at once, so to secure a trophy is really nice," commented ranked player the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had lost his past six title deciders, comprising in that event earlier this year.
The player's defensive play style and regular reactions on the playing surface had prompted some to question if his ability to play at the top level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in the past month, making an effort to advance forward and compete positively, supported by an better serving game.
He fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, taking four of the concluding five games to take the lead.
Both players traded service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial ATP Tour championship, took control to push for a decider.
Moutet saved four initial chances in a close final set before Medvedev broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev clinched victory with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to manage a return after over two and a half hours.
