19 of Medvedev's 21 championships have been achieved on hardcourt
A resurgent the Russian player secured his first trophy for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging period, managing just a single victory at the big events and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serving in especial - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and finally parting ways with long-time coach Cervara.
Presently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought three-set win over Frenchman Moutet.
It is his maiden title since the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface from spring of that year.
The win also indicates Medvedev has secured 21 titles at twenty-one different events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my both daughters at once, so to secure a title is really nice," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I won when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had lost his past six finals, featuring in that event in the past months.
His defensive play style and recurring reactions on the playing surface had caused observers to question if his ability to perform at the top level was finished.
But the player has made changes in the past month, striving to advance forward and compete assertively, supported by an better serving game.
He came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky Frenchman, winning 4 of the final five exchanges to take the lead.
Both players exchanged breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a final set.
Moutet saved four early-game chances in a tight third set before the champion won the break to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner secured the title with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
