Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been won on hard surfaces
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his first championship for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition title decider.
The Russian, a former world number one, has experienced a difficult season, managing just one match at the big events and experiencing a setback at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in especial - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and eventually separating with long-time coach Cervara.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently advanced in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive triumph over challenger Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's first championship following the Rome competition and maiden on a hardcourt since March of 2023.
Success also means the Russian has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 distinct events.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my both daughters at once, so to secure a championship is particularly special," said world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six finals, comprising in that event in the past months.
The player's counter-punching strategy and regular outbursts on court had prompted observers to question if his ability to play at the top level was finished.
Yet the player has altered his approach in the past month, striving to advance forward and compete aggressively, reinforced by an better serve.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the first set against the challenging Frenchman, taking four of the final five games to take the lead.
The competitors traded breaks in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden professional championship, seized the initiative to push for a final set.
Moutet rescued 4 early opportunities in a tight deciding set before the Russian broke to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, he earned victory with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to handle a shot after a lengthy match.
