19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard courts
A comeback Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden trophy for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has experienced a torrid season, managing just one win at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in specific - led to him exiting of the top ten and eventually splitting with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Now working with Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Moutet.
It is his initial trophy following the Italian tournament and first on a hard court from March of that year.
The win also signifies the Russian has achieved 21 championships at twenty-one various tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my children together, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my first daughter her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his past six title deciders, including in Halle earlier this year.
The player's retrieving play style and recurring outbursts on court had led observers to wonder if his skill to compete at the top level was finished.
But the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to advance forward and play aggressively, backed up by an improved serving game.
He fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult opponent, winning four of the concluding five games to take the lead.
The pair traded break points in the following set before the Frenchman, bidding for his initial ATP Tour title, seized the initiative to push for a decider.
Moutet saved 4 early-game chances in a tight third set before the Russian won the break to that score to serve for the match.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the title with a point at the net area, with his opponent failing to handle a volley after a lengthy match.
