Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Medvedev claimed his initial trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has endured a challenging season, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in specific - resulted in him falling of the top ten and ultimately separating with long-term coach his previous coach.
Currently training with Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the past month - peaking in a tightly fought three-set triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks his initial trophy since the Rome competition and first on a hard court from spring of the previous year.
Victory also indicates he has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 distinct competitions.
"For the first time I am participating in a event with my two daughters together, so to win a title is especially meaningful," said tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the first title I won when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his past six title deciders, comprising in that event in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive play style and frequent emotional displays on court had caused some to doubt if his capacity to perform at the elite level was concluded.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to approach the net and play aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
He fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, securing four of the concluding five points to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first tour victory, gained dominance to push for a third set.
He saved four early chances in a close final set before the Russian broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned the win with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
