19 of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hard courts
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his initial trophy for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has endured a difficult period, achieving just one match at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in particular - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now training with his coach and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set triumph over challenger Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's first title after the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard surface after March of the previous year.
The win also indicates the Russian has won twenty-one titles at 21 various events.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my both daughters at once, so to win a title is especially meaningful," stated ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my second daughter her name, because the maiden victory I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had lost his previous six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and recurring emotional displays on court had prompted some to question if his skill to play at the top level was concluded.
However the player has made changes in recent weeks, making an effort to approach the net and compete assertively, backed up by an better serve.
Medvedev came back from a break down in the first set against the challenging Frenchman, securing four of the last five exchanges to go ahead.
The competitors exchanged service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour victory, took control to push for a final set.
He saved four initial chances in a tight final set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, he clinched the win with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
