19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player won his initial trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a difficult period, winning just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serving in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and eventually separating with long-time mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's first trophy since the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court since that period of the previous year.
Victory also means the Russian has achieved 21 championships at 21 various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a event with my both daughters simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in Halle previously this season.
His defensive play style and frequent emotional displays on court had caused some to doubt if his capacity to compete at the elite level was finished.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to come to the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an better serving game.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the first set against the difficult Moutet, securing 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged breaks in the second set before the challenger, attempting for his initial professional title, took control to create a third set.
He rescued 4 initial opportunities in a tight deciding set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner clinched the title with a point at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
