Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hardcourt
A comeback the Russian player won his first trophy for over two years with success over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has experienced a challenging year, winning just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serve in specific - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and eventually separating with former mentor his previous coach.
Now training with Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has consistently advanced in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought competitive victory over opponent Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden trophy since the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt since that period of that year.
Success also signifies he has won twenty-one championships at 21 different events.
"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my both daughters together, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I achieved when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six finals, featuring in that event previously this season.
His retrieving play style and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had caused some to wonder if his skill to play at the elite level was finished.
However the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, making an effort to come to the net and perform aggressively, reinforced by an improved serving game.
The champion fought back from a break down in the opening set against the tricky Frenchman, taking four of the last five games to go ahead.
The competitors traded breaks in the following set before the challenger, striving for his first tour championship, took control to push for a final set.
Moutet defended 4 early-game opportunities in a close final set before the Russian broke to that score to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner secured victory with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to handle a shot after a lengthy match.
