Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player secured his initial championship for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has had a challenging season, managing just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serving in particular - led to him dropping out of the world's top 10 and ultimately splitting with long-time coach Cervara.
Currently training with Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently advanced in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Moutet.
It is his initial championship following the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt after spring of that year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has won 21 titles at twenty-one different competitions.
"For the first time I'm at a event with my children together, so to win a title is particularly special," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his previous six finals, featuring in the German tournament previously this season.
Medvedev's counter-punching strategy and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had prompted some to doubt if his ability to perform at the elite level was finished.
But the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and compete aggressively, supported by an better service.
The champion came back from a deficit in the opening set against the tricky Moutet, winning 4 of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his maiden professional championship, gained dominance to push for a third set.
He saved 4 early-game opportunities in a tight final set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, Medvedev earned victory with a shot at the net, with Moutet failing to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
