Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hard surfaces
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev secured his maiden championship for 882 days with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a torrid period, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the US Open.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and eventually splitting with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested three-set victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks his first trophy since the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard surface from spring of the previous year.
Success also signifies he has won twenty-one titles at twenty-one various events.
"For the first time I have attended a tournament with my two daughters together, so to win a championship is particularly special," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my child my daughter, because the initial championship I won when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his last six championship matches, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's counter-punching strategy and regular reactions on court had led observers to doubt if his skill to compete at the top level was over.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in recent weeks, making an effort to come to the net and play aggressively, backed up by an improved service.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the first set against the tricky opponent, securing 4 of the concluding five games to go ahead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his initial professional title, gained dominance to force a decider.
Moutet rescued four early-game opportunities in a tight deciding set before Medvedev broke to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner clinched the title with a rally at the net area, with his opponent incapable to control a return after a lengthy match.
