Nineteen of the Russian's 21 titles have been achieved on hardcourt
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a former top-ranked player, has had a challenging period, winning just one win at the big events and suffering a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serving in especial - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and ultimately separating with former trainer his previous coach.
Now training with his coach and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden trophy after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard court since that period of the previous year.
Success also indicates he has won 21 championships at twenty-one distinct events.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my both daughters together, so to win a trophy is particularly special," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This victory is in honour of my child my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my child her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had lost his past six finals, comprising in that event previously this season.
Medvedev's counter-punching strategy and recurring emotional displays on court had caused some to doubt if his ability to compete at the highest level was over.
Yet the athlete has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and compete positively, backed up by an better serve.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, securing four of the last five games to take the lead.
The competitors traded breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his maiden professional title, gained dominance to push for a final set.
He saved 4 early break points in a competitive deciding set before the Russian secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Suitably, Medvedev clinched the win with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
