19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hardcourt
A comeback Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden trophy for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has experienced a challenging period, winning just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the New York tournament.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in specific - led to him exiting of the top ten and finally separating with long-term coach Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought competitive triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden trophy since the Rome competition and initial on a hardcourt from March of the previous year.
The win also means he has secured twenty-one victories at 21 various events.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a tournament with my two daughters at once, so to win a trophy is particularly special," commented tennis professional Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six championship matches, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
Medvedev's defensive strategy and frequent reactions on the playing surface had led commentators to doubt if his ability to compete at the top level was concluded.
But the player has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to approach the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an improved service.
The champion came back from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult opponent, winning four of the final five games to go ahead.
The competitors traded service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, striving for his maiden ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to create a decider.
Moutet defended four initial chances in a close third set before the Russian broke to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, Medvedev earned victory with a point at the net, with the Frenchman failing to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
