19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been won on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player secured his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with success over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has had a difficult period, achieving just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and issues with his service game in specific - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and eventually separating with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Presently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually advanced in the recent weeks - culminating in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Corentin Moutet.
It is the player's maiden title after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt after that period of that year.
Success also indicates he has secured 21 titles at twenty-one different competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my children together, so to get a championship is really nice," commented world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the first title I got when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had failed in his previous six title deciders, featuring in that event in the past months.
His counter-punching approach and regular reactions on the playing surface had led commentators to question if his ability to perform at the elite level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and perform aggressively, reinforced by an better serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, winning 4 of the final five exchanges to go ahead.
The competitors traded service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his first professional title, seized the initiative to push for a final set.
He defended four early-game break points in a tight third set before the champion won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Suitably, he secured the win with a rally at the net, with his opponent unable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
