19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev secured his first championship for nearly 30 months with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has experienced a torrid year, managing just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his service game in particular - led to him dropping out of the world's top 10 and finally separating with long-time trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now working with his coach and Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought three-set triumph over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's first championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard surface since that period of 2023.
The win also signifies he has secured twenty-one titles at twenty-one different events.
"For the first time I'm at a event with my children together, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in that event previously this season.
The player's retrieving strategy and recurring reactions on court had caused observers to question if his capacity to play at the top level was over.
But the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, attempting to advance forward and perform assertively, reinforced by an better serve.
The champion came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging Frenchman, winning 4 of the last five games to take the lead.
Both players exchanged breaks in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his initial professional title, took control to push for a third set.
The opponent defended four early-game break points in a tight final set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned the title with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to control a return after a lengthy match.
