Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Medvedev won his first championship for over two years with success over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former world number one, has experienced a torrid season, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - caused him exiting of the top ten and ultimately separating with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought three-set triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
It is Medvedev's maiden title following the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt after spring of that year.
Success also indicates he has achieved 21 victories at twenty-one various tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters together, so to win a trophy is particularly special," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his last six championship matches, featuring in the German tournament earlier this year.
His retrieving strategy and frequent reactions on the playing surface had caused observers to question if his ability to perform at the elite level was finished.
But the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, attempting to advance forward and play assertively, backed up by an enhanced service.
The champion came back from a deficit in the first set against the challenging Frenchman, winning four of the final five games to go ahead.
Both players swapped service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial tour victory, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent defended 4 early-game chances in a tight deciding set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Suitably, he earned the title with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet unable to manage a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
