19 of Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his maiden championship for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has endured a difficult year, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and suffering a setback at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in particular - caused him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately separating with long-term coach his previous coach.
Presently working with Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually improved in the past month - peaking in a tightly fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
It is the player's maiden trophy after the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard surface since March of that year.
Success also means Medvedev has secured 21 titles at twenty-one distinct events.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters together, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my child her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his past six finals, featuring in the German tournament earlier this year.
His retrieving play style and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to question if his ability to play at the highest level was concluded.
Yet the player has altered his approach in the past month, striving to come to the net and play assertively, supported by an better serving game.
He fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, winning 4 of the last five points to go ahead.
The pair exchanged breaks in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his first tour victory, took control to force a third set.
The opponent defended four early-game break points in a tight final set before the Russian broke to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, he earned victory with a rally at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to control a shot after a lengthy match.
