Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized the Russian player won his initial trophy for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a challenging season, achieving just one match at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in specific - caused him falling of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with long-time trainer Cervara.

This represents his first championship since the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt since spring of 2023.
Victory also indicates the Russian has achieved twenty-one titles at twenty-one various competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my children at once, so to secure a trophy is particularly special," commented ranked player the champion.
"This victory is in honour of my second daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter Alisa 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 earlier this year.
His retrieving approach and regular outbursts on the tennis court had led commentators to question if his ability to play at the highest level was over.
But the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to come to the net and play positively, backed up by an improved service.
The champion fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult opponent, taking 4 of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The pair exchanged breaks in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his first professional title, gained dominance to force a third set.
The opponent rescued 4 early chances in a close final set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Appropriately, Medvedev secured victory with a rally at the net, with his opponent unable to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
