Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev won his initial title for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has had a difficult period, winning just one match at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serve in especial - led to him exiting of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with long-term mentor his previous coach.
Currently working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually improved in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought three-set win over challenger Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first trophy after the Rome competition and initial on a hard court after that period of that year.
Success also indicates the Russian has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 various tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is particularly special," said tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my child her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his past six finals, including in that event previously this season.
His defensive strategy and frequent reactions on court had caused some to doubt if his skill to play at the highest level was concluded.
Yet the player has made changes in the past month, striving to come to the net and compete assertively, backed up by an better serve.
The champion came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, securing four of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.
Both players traded service breaks in the second set before Moutet, striving for his maiden tour victory, gained dominance to create a third set.
The opponent saved four early opportunities in a close deciding set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Fittingly, the winner secured the win with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to handle a return after a lengthy match.
