19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard surfaces
A comeback Medvedev won his maiden championship for over two years with success over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former world number one, has endured a difficult period, managing just a single victory at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in especial - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has steadily progressed in the past month - peaking in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents the player's initial title after the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court from spring of the previous year.
The win also indicates the Russian has won 21 victories at 21 distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a tournament with my children at once, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," stated ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his last six finals, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's defensive play style and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had led commentators to wonder if his capacity to compete at the highest level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in recent weeks, attempting to advance forward and compete aggressively, supported by an improved serve.
Medvedev came back from a break down in the first set against the difficult Moutet, taking 4 of the final five games to take the lead.
Both players swapped break points in the following set before the challenger, striving for his maiden professional championship, took control to create a final set.
Moutet defended 4 early chances in a competitive final set before the Russian secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner clinched victory with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to control a return after a lengthy match.
