Nineteen of the Russian's 21 titles have been achieved on hard courts
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his first title for over two years with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has had a torrid period, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and undergoing a setback at the American major.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in particular - caused him exiting of the top ten and finally splitting with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Now training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has consistently progressed in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
It is Medvedev's initial trophy after the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court since spring of that year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has secured twenty-one victories at 21 various competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a competition with my both daughters simultaneously, so to win a title is particularly special," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six finals, comprising in that event in the past months.
His counter-punching approach and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had led observers to question if his ability to play at the highest level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, attempting to come to the net and compete aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the initial set against the tricky opponent, winning 4 of the concluding five points to take the lead.
Both players swapped service breaks in the following set before Moutet, striving for his initial tour victory, took control to force a third set.
Moutet rescued 4 initial opportunities in a tight deciding set before the Russian won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he secured victory with a rally at the net area, with the Frenchman failing to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
