19 of the Russian's 21 championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev secured his maiden title for over two years with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a challenging period, winning just one win at the big events and suffering a setback at the New York tournament.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in specific - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with long-term coach his previous coach.
Now collaborating with his coach and Goetzke, he has steadily advanced in the recent weeks - culminating in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over Frenchman Moutet.
It is the player's first trophy following the Italian tournament and first on a hard court after March of that year.
The win also indicates Medvedev has secured 21 titles at 21 different competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my both daughters at once, so to secure a title is particularly special," stated ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I won 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 championship matches, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
His defensive approach and recurring outbursts on court had led some to doubt if his skill to play at the highest level was concluded.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and compete positively, supported by an better serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the first set against the tricky Moutet, taking four of the concluding five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped service breaks in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his initial ATP Tour title, took control to force a decider.
Moutet saved 4 initial break points in a competitive final set before the Russian broke to fifteen to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev clinched the win with a rally at the net area, with Moutet failing to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
