19 of the Russian's 21 titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A comeback Daniil Medvedev claimed his initial title for over two years with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has experienced a difficult year, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and suffering a setback at the US Open.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in particular - caused him falling of the elite rankings and finally parting ways with long-term mentor Cervara.
Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually advanced in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested three-set triumph over opponent Moutet.
This represents the player's initial championship following the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court from spring of that year.
Success also indicates he has secured twenty-one victories at 21 various tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters at once, so to win a trophy is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I got when my older daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his last six finals, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's retrieving strategy and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted some to question if his capacity to perform at the highest level was over.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to approach the net and play positively, reinforced by an better serving game.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky opponent, securing four of the concluding five points to go ahead.
The competitors traded breaks in the second set before Moutet, bidding for his maiden ATP Tour title, took control to create a third set.
He saved four early-game chances in a close final set before Medvedev broke to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev secured the title with a shot at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to handle a shot after over two and a half hours.
