19 of the Russian's 21 championships have been earned on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player secured his first title for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has experienced a challenging period, winning just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in especial - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with long-term coach his previous coach.
Now training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive triumph over opponent Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden championship since the Rome competition and first on a hard court since March of 2023.
Victory also means Medvedev has secured twenty-one championships at twenty-one different events.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a championship is especially meaningful," said tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my child her name, because the initial championship I got when my older daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had been defeated in his last six title deciders, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's counter-punching strategy and regular reactions on the playing surface had led commentators to question if his skill to compete at the top level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, attempting to advance forward and perform positively, supported by an better serving game.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, securing 4 of the concluding five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair traded breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his maiden tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a decider.
Moutet saved four initial break points in a tight third set before the Russian won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Appropriately, Medvedev secured victory with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
