Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with a win over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The athlete, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid year, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
His varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and finally splitting with long-time coach his previous coach.
Now training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily advanced in the past month - culminating in a closely contested three-set win over challenger Moutet.
This marks his initial title since the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard court after that period of that year.
Victory also indicates he has achieved twenty-one titles at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my both daughters together, so to win a trophy is really nice," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter Victoria, because the first title I got when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his last six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
His retrieving play style and regular emotional displays on the tennis court had prompted commentators to wonder if his capacity to play at the elite level was finished.
Yet the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, attempting to advance forward and perform positively, supported by an enhanced serve.
The champion came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the challenging opponent, securing four of the last five points to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged break points in the following set before the challenger, attempting for his maiden tour victory, gained dominance to force a decider.
Moutet defended four early-game chances in a competitive deciding set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner secured the win with a point at the net area, with Moutet incapable to control a volley after a lengthy match.
