Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player won his first trophy for nearly 30 months with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a former world number one, has experienced a challenging period, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the US Open.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - caused him falling of the top ten and finally parting ways with former coach his previous coach.
Presently working with his coach and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
It is the player's first title following the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface from March of that year.
Success also signifies the Russian has secured twenty-one victories at 21 various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is particularly special," said world number 14 Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I won when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six title deciders, including in that event earlier this year.
The player's retrieving strategy and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had prompted some to wonder if his ability to play at the elite level was finished.
But the athlete has made changes in the past month, making an effort to come to the net and compete positively, reinforced by an enhanced serving game.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the challenging Moutet, winning 4 of the final five points to go ahead.
Both players traded break points in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to force a final set.
He rescued four early-game chances in a close final set before the Russian won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Fittingly, he earned the win with a rally at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a volley after a lengthy match.
