Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his first championship for over two years with victory over opponent Moutet in the competition title decider.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has experienced a torrid period, achieving just one win at the big events and suffering a setback at the American major.
The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in especial - caused him falling of the top ten and finally separating with long-term mentor Cervara.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive victory over opponent Moutet.
This represents his first trophy since the Italian tournament and maiden on a hardcourt from March of that year.
Victory also indicates the Russian has secured twenty-one championships at twenty-one various tournaments.
"For the first time I'm at a event with my children together, so to secure a trophy is really nice," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This victory is in dedication of my child her name, because the first title I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his last six finals, featuring in Halle in the past months.
The player's defensive play style and regular outbursts on the playing surface had caused observers to doubt if his capacity to compete at the elite level was over.
But the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, making an effort to come to the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an better serving game.
He recovered from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, securing 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his first tour victory, gained dominance to push for a third set.
Moutet defended four early-game break points in a close deciding set before the Russian broke to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, he earned the title with a rally at the net, with his opponent incapable to control a return after over two and a half hours.
