19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hard surfaces
A comeback Medvedev secured his maiden championship for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has endured a torrid year, winning just a single victory at the big events and suffering a setback at the American major.
His unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in especial - led to him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately separating with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually progressed in the past month - culminating in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's initial title after the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt from spring of that year.
Success also means he has secured 21 victories at 21 distinct tournaments.
"For the first time I am participating in a event with my children simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had failed in his past six finals, featuring in that event previously this season.
His retrieving play style and recurring outbursts on court had prompted some to doubt if his ability to perform at the elite level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, making an effort to approach the net and perform aggressively, backed up by an improved serve.
He fought back from a break down in the opening set against the tricky Frenchman, securing 4 of the last five games to go ahead.
The competitors swapped break points in the second set before the Frenchman, bidding for his initial ATP Tour victory, took control to create a decider.
He defended 4 early break points in a close final set before Medvedev won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Suitably, the winner clinched the title with a shot at the front of the court, with Moutet unable to control a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
