Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been earned on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a former world number one, has experienced a challenging period, winning just a single victory at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his service game in particular - resulted in him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with former mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently training with his coach and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually improved in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested competitive triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents Medvedev's initial championship since the Italian tournament and first on a hard court since that period of the previous year.
Success also signifies Medvedev has secured 21 titles at 21 various events.
"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a championship is especially meaningful," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the first title I got when my child my daughter was delivered was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six finals, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
His defensive play style and regular outbursts on the playing surface had caused commentators to doubt if his capacity to compete at the highest level was over.
However the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, making an effort to advance forward and perform positively, backed up by an improved serving game.
The champion came back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky opponent, winning four of the last five games to go ahead.
The pair swapped service breaks in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his maiden professional title, seized the initiative to create a decider.
The opponent rescued 4 early chances in a competitive third set before the Russian broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured the title with a point at the net area, with Moutet incapable to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
