19 of the Russian's 21 victories have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player won his maiden title for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the competition final.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a challenging year, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in specific - led to him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with long-term coach Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested three-set victory over challenger Moutet.
This marks the player's initial trophy following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hardcourt from spring of that year.
Victory also means the Russian has secured 21 championships at 21 various events.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my children at once, so to win a title is especially meaningful," stated tennis professional the champion.
"This championship is in tribute of my child her name, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his previous six championship matches, including in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's counter-punching play style and recurring emotional displays on court had caused commentators to question if his ability to compete at the highest level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to come to the net and play assertively, reinforced by an improved service.
Medvedev fought back from a break down in the opening set against the tricky opponent, taking 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors traded service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first ATP Tour title, gained dominance to force a decider.
Moutet rescued four initial break points in a close final set before the Russian won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Appropriately, he secured the title with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman failing to manage a volley after a lengthy match.
