Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hard surfaces
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his first title for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a former world number one, has experienced a challenging season, winning just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the US Open.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and issues with his service game in especial - led to him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with long-time trainer Cervara.
Currently working with his coach and Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over challenger Moutet.
This marks his maiden trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt after that period of that year.
The win also signifies the Russian has achieved twenty-one victories at twenty-one different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a tournament with my two daughters together, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my child my daughter, because the maiden victory I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, comprising in that event in the past months.
His retrieving strategy and frequent outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to question if his ability to compete at the top level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, attempting to approach the net and play aggressively, reinforced by an better serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the first set against the challenging opponent, winning 4 of the last five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped breaks in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to force a final set.
He saved four early-game chances in a tight final set before the champion won the break to that score to serve for the match.
Fittingly, the winner earned the title with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
