Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player won his maiden championship for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
The athlete, a former world number one, has had a difficult period, winning just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in especial - caused him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually parting ways with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has steadily advanced in the last few weeks - culminating in a closely contested three-set victory over opponent Corentin Moutet.
It is his initial title following the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt after spring of that year.
The win also indicates the Russian has achieved twenty-one championships at 21 various events.
"For the first time I'm at a competition with my children together, so to secure a trophy is particularly special," said ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his previous six title deciders, including in Halle earlier this year.
Medvedev's defensive approach and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had caused observers to doubt if his skill to play at the highest level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and play aggressively, supported by an better serve.
He came back from a disadvantage in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, taking 4 of the last five games to go ahead.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the second set before Moutet, striving for his first ATP Tour championship, gained dominance to push for a third set.
He rescued 4 early break points in a competitive final set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, the winner secured the title with a rally at the net area, with his opponent incapable to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
