19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player secured his maiden title for 882 days with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a torrid year, managing just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in specific - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and finally separating with long-term coach Cervara.
Currently working with Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought three-set win over challenger Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard court since that period of that year.
Victory also indicates Medvedev has won 21 victories at twenty-one different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is really nice," said ranked player the champion.
"This victory is in dedication of my child my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, comprising in Halle previously this season.
His counter-punching play style and recurring reactions on court had prompted commentators to wonder if his skill to play at the highest level was finished.
Yet the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and play aggressively, supported by an improved serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, winning four of the concluding five points to take the lead.
The pair traded break points in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his initial professional title, took control to push for a decider.
Moutet defended 4 initial chances in a competitive final set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev clinched the title with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman failing to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
