19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 championships have been won on hardcourt
A revitalized Medvedev secured his first trophy for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has experienced a difficult year, winning just one win at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the US Open.
His inconsistency on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his service game in specific - caused him falling of the top ten and finally parting ways with former coach Gilles Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually advanced in the recent weeks - culminating in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's initial championship since the Rome competition and initial on a hard surface from March of that year.
Success also indicates he has secured twenty-one victories at twenty-one distinct events.

"This championship is in tribute of my child Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my child her name was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his last six finals, comprising in that event earlier this year.
The player's counter-punching strategy and recurring emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted commentators to question if his ability to play at the top level was concluded.
However the athlete has made changes in the past month, attempting to approach the net and play positively, reinforced by an better serving game.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the tricky Moutet, winning 4 of the final five games to go ahead.
The competitors swapped service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, striving for his maiden tour championship, gained dominance to push for a third set.
The opponent defended 4 early-game chances in a tight deciding set before the champion secured a break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner earned the title with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
