Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been won on hard courts
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his initial trophy for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has had a difficult season, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and experiencing a setback at the US Open.
His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serving in specific - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and finally splitting with long-time coach his previous coach.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has steadily advanced in the past month - culminating in a closely contested three-set win over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first trophy after the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface from March of the previous year.
Success also signifies he has won twenty-one victories at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my both daughters simultaneously, so to win a trophy is particularly special," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I won when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his past six finals, including in that event earlier this year.
The player's defensive approach and recurring outbursts on court had led commentators to wonder if his skill to play at the top level was concluded.
But the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to approach the net and perform aggressively, reinforced by an better serving game.
He recovered from a deficit in the initial set against the difficult Frenchman, securing four of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
Both players swapped service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his maiden tour victory, took control to create a third set.
The opponent saved 4 early chances in a tight deciding set before Medvedev broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the title with a shot at the net area, with Moutet unable to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
