19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been won on hard surfaces
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev secured his initial championship for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has had a difficult season, winning just one win at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his service game in particular - resulted in him falling of the top ten and eventually separating with long-time mentor his previous coach.
Currently training with his coach and Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's maiden title since the Italian tournament and initial on a hard surface from that period of 2023.
The win also signifies Medvedev has won 21 titles at 21 distinct tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my children together, so to secure a title is particularly special," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his last six finals, featuring in that event previously this season.
The player's counter-punching strategy and frequent outbursts on court had led commentators to question if his ability to play at the elite level was over.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in the past month, making an effort to come to the net and play aggressively, reinforced by an better serving game.
He recovered from a break down in the initial set against the challenging Moutet, securing four of the concluding five points to gain the advantage.
Both players swapped break points in the following set before Moutet, striving for his first tour title, gained dominance to force a decider.
The opponent saved four initial chances in a competitive final set before Medvedev secured a break to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, he secured victory with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
