19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been earned on hardcourt
A comeback Daniil Medvedev secured his maiden title for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a former number one, has had a difficult season, winning just a single victory at the big events and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.
The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and issues with his service game in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately splitting with long-time trainer Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought competitive triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks his initial trophy since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hardcourt after March of the previous year.
The win also signifies the Russian has secured 21 victories at 21 different tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to win a title is particularly special," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in honour of my child her name, because the maiden victory I got when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his last six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
Medvedev's retrieving play style and frequent reactions on the playing surface had prompted observers to doubt if his capacity to perform at the elite level was finished.
Yet the player has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to advance forward and perform assertively, backed up by an better serving game.
The champion came back from a break down in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, winning 4 of the concluding five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped break points in the middle set before Moutet, bidding for his maiden tour title, took control to push for a decider.
He rescued 4 early-game chances in a competitive final set before the champion won the break to 15 to secure the win.
Appropriately, the winner earned victory with a rally at the net, with his opponent failing to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
