Nineteen of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been achieved on hard courts
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden trophy for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a difficult year, achieving just a single victory at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the US Open.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in particular - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually parting ways with long-time mentor his previous coach.
Presently training with his coach and Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently progressed in the past month - culminating in a closely contested three-set victory over opponent Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's initial trophy following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard surface since that period of the previous year.
Victory also means Medvedev has secured 21 championships at 21 distinct competitions.
"For the first time I am participating in a competition with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is really nice," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
His defensive approach and frequent reactions on the tennis court had caused observers to question if his capacity to perform at the elite level was finished.
But the player has made changes in recent weeks, making an effort to approach the net and play positively, backed up by an enhanced serve.
He fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the challenging opponent, taking 4 of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his initial tour victory, gained dominance to create a third set.
The opponent defended four early-game opportunities in a tight final set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Suitably, he clinched the title with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to manage a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
