Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hard courts
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev won his initial trophy for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition final.
The athlete, a former world number one, has had a torrid year, achieving just one match at the Grand Slams and suffering a difficult moment at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in particular - caused him dropping out of the world's top 10 and finally separating with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, he has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought three-set triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's initial trophy after the Rome competition and initial on a hard court since that period of 2023.
Victory also signifies Medvedev has secured twenty-one titles at 21 various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a championship is really nice," stated ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my child her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his last six title deciders, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's retrieving strategy and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had led some to question if his ability to compete at the highest level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and play aggressively, supported by an enhanced serve.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky opponent, taking four of the concluding five games to go ahead.
The competitors traded service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial tour title, took control to push for a final set.
He saved 4 early-game break points in a tight third set before the Russian secured a break to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev secured victory with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
