19 of Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition final.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has had a difficult season, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a setback at the US Open.
The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and struggles with his service game in specific - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with former mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually progressed in the last few weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set triumph over opponent Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden title following the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface since March of that year.
Victory also means Medvedev has achieved 21 titles at 21 different tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a competition with my children simultaneously, so to get a championship is especially meaningful," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my child Alisa was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his past six finals, including in Halle previously this season.
His defensive approach and regular outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to wonder if his skill to play at the top level was over.
But the player has made changes in the past month, striving to come to the net and perform positively, backed up by an enhanced serving game.
The champion fought back from a break down in the first set against the challenging opponent, securing 4 of the final five games to gain the advantage.
Both players traded break points in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his first professional victory, took control to force a final set.
Moutet rescued 4 early-game chances in a tight final set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned the win with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
