Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev secured his maiden title for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has had a torrid period, managing just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a setback at the US Open.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his service game in specific - resulted in him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with long-time trainer Gilles Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently improved in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.
This represents the player's initial trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface from spring of the previous year.
Victory also indicates the Russian has achieved 21 championships at twenty-one various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my children together, so to secure a championship is particularly special," said tennis professional the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my child her name was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had failed in his last six finals, featuring in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching approach and frequent emotional displays on court had caused observers to wonder if his capacity to compete at the highest level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, attempting to approach the net and compete aggressively, supported by an improved serving game.
He recovered from a deficit in the initial set against the difficult opponent, taking four of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
The competitors traded breaks in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his first professional victory, took control to create a decider.
The opponent defended 4 early-game opportunities in a competitive final set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, Medvedev clinched victory with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to handle a return after a lengthy match.
