Nineteen of the Russian's 21 titles have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his first trophy for over two years with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has endured a challenging year, winning just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serve in specific - led to him dropping out of the top ten and eventually separating with long-term trainer Cervara.
Now training with his coach and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently progressed in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.
It is Medvedev's maiden championship since the Rome competition and initial on a hard court from that period of that year.
Success also indicates the Russian has won twenty-one titles at 21 different events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my children at once, so to win a trophy is especially meaningful," stated ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the first title I won when my child her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his last six championship matches, comprising in that event previously this season.
His counter-punching strategy and frequent outbursts on court had led some to wonder if his ability to perform at the highest level was concluded.
However the player has made changes in the past month, striving to come to the net and perform aggressively, supported by an improved serving game.
Medvedev came back from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, securing four of the last five exchanges to go ahead.
The pair exchanged breaks in the second set before Moutet, striving for his first tour victory, gained dominance to create a decider.
Moutet saved 4 early-game chances in a close final set before the Russian secured a break to that score to close out the victory.
Fittingly, he earned the win with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to manage a return after over two and a half hours.
