Nineteen of the Russian's 21 championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
Medvedev, a former number one, has experienced a challenging season, managing just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's varied form on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serving in especial - led to him falling of the top ten and finally separating with long-term mentor his previous coach.
Currently working with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - climaxing in a closely contested competitive victory over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's initial title after the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface from spring of that year.
The win also signifies he has won twenty-one titles at 21 different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my both daughters simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my child her name, because the first title I got when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his last six finals, comprising in Halle previously this season.
His defensive strategy and regular outbursts on court had prompted some to question if his skill to perform at the elite level was concluded.
However the athlete has altered his approach in the last few weeks, attempting to approach the net and play aggressively, supported by an better serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky Frenchman, securing four of the last five games to go ahead.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden tour title, seized the initiative to create a final set.
The opponent defended four initial opportunities in a competitive third set before the champion won the break to that score to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner secured the title with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
