Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 victories have been won on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev secured his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has experienced a difficult year, achieving just one match at the Grand Slams and suffering a difficult moment at the US Open.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serving in specific - caused him falling of the top ten and finally splitting with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now training with Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently advanced in the past month - climaxing in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's initial championship after the Rome competition and first on a hard court since that period of the previous year.
Success also signifies the Russian has won 21 victories at 21 various competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my two daughters together, so to win a trophy is particularly special," stated world number 14 Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had lost his previous six championship matches, featuring in that event in the past months.
His defensive strategy and regular reactions on the tennis court had caused commentators to doubt if his skill to play at the top level was finished.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and play assertively, backed up by an enhanced service.
He fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult opponent, taking 4 of the last five games to gain the advantage.
The pair traded breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, bidding for his initial tour title, gained dominance to force a final set.
Moutet defended four early-game break points in a close deciding set before the Russian won the break to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, he earned the title with a rally at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to control a shot after a lengthy match.
