Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev claimed his maiden title for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a difficult period, managing just one win at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and issues with his serving in especial - led to him falling of the top ten and ultimately separating with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set triumph over opponent Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first trophy after the Italian tournament and initial on a hard court from spring of that year.
Success also indicates the Russian has secured twenty-one victories at twenty-one different competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my two daughters at once, so to get a title is especially meaningful," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my younger daughter Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my child my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his past six finals, featuring in Halle previously this season.
Medvedev's retrieving play style and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted commentators to question if his skill to play at the highest level was concluded.
But the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and perform positively, supported by an better serve.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the difficult opponent, securing 4 of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the second set before the challenger, striving for his initial ATP Tour title, took control to force a final set.
The opponent saved 4 initial chances in a competitive final set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner secured the title with a rally at the net area, with his opponent failing to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
