Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 victories have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev won his initial title for over two years with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has experienced a difficult season, winning just a single victory at the big events and suffering a setback at the American major.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in especial - led to him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with long-time mentor his previous coach.
Now training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought competitive triumph over challenger Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's first title since the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt after that period of the previous year.
The win also means Medvedev has achieved 21 titles at twenty-one various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my children at once, so to win a trophy is really nice," said tennis professional Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his past six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
His defensive strategy and recurring reactions on court had caused observers to question if his skill to compete at the elite level was concluded.
But the player has altered his approach in the past month, striving to come to the net and play aggressively, backed up by an improved serving game.
He came back from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, winning four of the last five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his first professional championship, gained dominance to push for a decider.
He rescued four initial opportunities in a close final set before the Russian secured a break to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner earned victory with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
