19 of the Russian's 21 victories have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player won his initial championship for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the competition final.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging year, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a setback at the US Open.
The player's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serving in particular - resulted in him falling of the top ten and eventually splitting with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Currently working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently advanced in the recent weeks - culminating in a closely contested three-set triumph over challenger Moutet.
It is Medvedev's maiden trophy since the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt from that period of that year.
The win also indicates Medvedev has won 21 championships at twenty-one various tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my children at once, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I won when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six finals, featuring in the German tournament previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive strategy and frequent outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to wonder if his skill to perform at the top level was concluded.
Yet the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and compete assertively, supported by an improved serving game.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the first set against the challenging opponent, winning four of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
Both players swapped break points in the following set before Moutet, attempting for his first professional title, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent rescued 4 early chances in a competitive final set before the Russian broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner earned victory with a rally at the net, with his opponent incapable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
