Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his initial trophy for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a former number one, has had a torrid period, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the US Open.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Now collaborating with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Moutet.
It is Medvedev's first trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt from March of the previous year.
The win also signifies he has secured twenty-one championships at 21 various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my children together, so to win a trophy is really nice," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, featuring in Halle previously this season.
Medvedev's counter-punching approach and frequent emotional displays on the tennis court had caused some to wonder if his capacity to compete at the elite level was over.
However the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and play aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky opponent, securing four of the final five games to take the lead.
The pair exchanged breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, bidding for his maiden tour title, took control to push for a final set.
The opponent saved 4 early-game opportunities in a competitive third set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev secured victory with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to control a volley after a lengthy match.
