19 of the Russian's 21 championships have been won on hard surfaces
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his first title for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has had a challenging season, winning just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the American major.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in especial - resulted in him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately separating with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually improved in the last few weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents his first championship following the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface after spring of the previous year.
Success also indicates the Russian has achieved 21 titles at twenty-one various events.
"For the first time I'm at a event with my both daughters together, so to win a title is really nice," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my child her name, because the initial championship I won when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, including in that event previously this season.
The player's defensive approach and frequent reactions on the playing surface had caused observers to question if his capacity to compete at the highest level was finished.
But the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and play assertively, reinforced by an improved service.
He came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Moutet, securing 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, attempting for his first ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent saved 4 initial chances in a close third set before the champion broke to fifteen to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the title with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
