19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hard surfaces
A revitalized Medvedev claimed his initial title for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has had a difficult season, winning just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serve in especial - resulted in him exiting of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with long-time coach his previous coach.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually improved in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents his first title since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard court from spring of 2023.
The win also means he has achieved 21 championships at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my children at once, so to secure a championship is really nice," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his previous six title deciders, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching approach and recurring reactions on court had caused commentators to wonder if his ability to play at the elite level was concluded.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and compete positively, supported by an enhanced serving game.
He came back from a deficit in the initial set against the challenging Moutet, securing four of the concluding five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial professional title, gained dominance to force a third set.
Moutet rescued 4 early break points in a tight deciding set before the champion secured a break to that score to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner clinched the title with a point at the net area, with his opponent failing to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
