Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hard surfaces
A resurgent Medvedev won his initial title for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a ex- number one, has endured a difficult period, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's inconsistency on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in specific - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently advanced in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought three-set triumph over challenger Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's first championship since the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface after spring of the previous year.
Victory also indicates Medvedev has secured twenty-one victories at 21 various events.
"For the first time I'm at a tournament with my both daughters at once, so to win a championship is really nice," commented tennis professional Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his last six finals, comprising in Halle previously this season.
His defensive strategy and recurring reactions on court had prompted commentators to question if his capacity to play at the elite level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in recent weeks, attempting to come to the net and perform positively, backed up by an better service.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the challenging opponent, taking four of the last five games to go ahead.
The pair exchanged break points in the middle set before Moutet, striving for his first tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
The opponent defended 4 early break points in a competitive deciding set before the Russian secured a break to that score to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner secured victory with a point at the net area, with his opponent failing to manage a shot after a lengthy match.
