19 of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been won on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player won his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has had a torrid year, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serve in especial - led to him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually improved in the recent weeks - culminating in a hard-fought competitive victory over opponent Moutet.
It is his initial championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard court since March of the previous year.
The win also signifies Medvedev has achieved 21 championships at twenty-one different events.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters together, so to win a title is really nice," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in dedication of my child my daughter, because the first title I won when my child her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, including in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's retrieving play style and frequent outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to wonder if his ability to perform at the top level was over.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, making an effort to advance forward and play positively, backed up by an better service.
He fought back from a break down in the initial set against the challenging Frenchman, winning four of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
The pair traded break points in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour title, gained dominance to force a final set.
He saved 4 early-game break points in a close deciding set before the Russian secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Appropriately, he clinched victory with a point at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
