19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized Medvedev won his maiden title for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has had a difficult year, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serve in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - culminating in a hard-fought competitive win over opponent Moutet.
This marks the player's maiden title after the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hardcourt after that period of 2023.
Success also signifies the Russian has secured 21 victories at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my both daughters together, so to win a trophy is really nice," stated tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had lost his past six title deciders, comprising in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's counter-punching approach and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had caused observers to doubt if his skill to perform at the highest level was concluded.
Yet the 29-year-old has made changes in the past month, attempting to come to the net and compete aggressively, reinforced by an better serve.
The champion came back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging opponent, securing 4 of the concluding five points to take the lead.
Both players swapped break points in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his first tour title, seized the initiative to force a decider.
Moutet saved 4 early break points in a close deciding set before Medvedev broke to that score to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned the win with a point at the net, with the Frenchman failing to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
