19 of the Russian's 21 championships have been achieved on hard courts
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev secured his initial championship for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has experienced a torrid period, achieving just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a difficult moment at the US Open.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in particular - led to him dropping out of the top ten and eventually separating with long-term mentor Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, he has steadily improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought competitive win over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's initial championship since the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface after that period of the previous year.
Victory also signifies the Russian has secured 21 victories at 21 various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my both daughters together, so to win a championship is really nice," said ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I got when my child her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
Medvedev's defensive play style and frequent reactions on the tennis court had led commentators to question if his ability to play at the highest level was over.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, striving to advance forward and compete aggressively, reinforced by an better serve.
Medvedev fought back from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, winning four of the concluding five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair traded service breaks in the following set before Moutet, attempting for his first tour victory, seized the initiative to create a final set.
He saved 4 early-game break points in a tight third set before the Russian secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Fittingly, Medvedev clinched the win with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
