19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player won his first title for over two years with success over Frenchman Moutet in the competition final.
The Russian, a former world number one, has had a challenging period, managing just a single victory at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
His inconsistency on the professional circuit - and issues with his service game in specific - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally parting ways with former mentor Gilles Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently improved in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
It is the player's maiden championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hardcourt from that period of that year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has secured twenty-one titles at twenty-one different tournaments.
"For the first time I am participating in a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is especially meaningful," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six championship matches, comprising in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's retrieving play style and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had prompted some to doubt if his ability to perform at the top level was concluded.
However the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and play aggressively, backed up by an improved serve.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, securing four of the final five games to take the lead.
The competitors exchanged break points in the second set before Moutet, attempting for his initial tour title, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent saved 4 initial opportunities in a close final set before the Russian won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, Medvedev earned the win with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
