Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent Medvedev secured his initial trophy for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a former world number one, has experienced a difficult season, managing just a single victory at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - caused him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with former trainer his previous coach.
Now working with Johansson and Goetzke, he has consistently progressed in the past month - culminating in a tightly fought three-set victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This represents his first championship since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface since that period of that year.
Success also indicates he has secured 21 victories at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I'm at a competition with my both daughters simultaneously, so to win a title is particularly special," said world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my child her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his last six title deciders, comprising in that event in the past months.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and recurring reactions on the playing surface had prompted observers to question if his capacity to play at the highest level was over.
Yet the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and play aggressively, reinforced by an improved serving game.
He came back from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, securing 4 of the final five points to take the lead.
Both players traded breaks in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his first ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to push for a decider.
The opponent rescued four initial break points in a tight final set before Medvedev secured a break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev secured victory with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
