Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 championships have been achieved on hard surfaces
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a former number one, has endured a challenging season, managing just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in specific - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally separating with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily advanced in the recent weeks - culminating in a hard-fought three-set victory over challenger Moutet.
This marks his maiden trophy after the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface since March of 2023.
Victory also signifies he has won twenty-one titles at 21 different competitions.
"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is really nice," commented ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his past six title deciders, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's retrieving play style and recurring emotional displays on court had caused commentators to wonder if his capacity to compete at the elite level was over.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, striving to advance forward and perform assertively, backed up by an better service.
He fought back from a deficit in the opening set against the difficult opponent, taking 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped break points in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his first tour championship, seized the initiative to create a final set.
Moutet saved 4 early chances in a tight third set before the champion secured a break to 15 to serve for the match.
Suitably, Medvedev secured victory with a rally at the net area, with the Frenchman failing to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
