19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player secured his maiden championship for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a ex- world number one, has endured a torrid season, winning just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.
The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serving in particular - caused him dropping out of the top ten and finally parting ways with former mentor his previous coach.
Presently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually improved in the past month - culminating in a closely contested three-set triumph over challenger Moutet.
It is the player's first championship after the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt after March of the previous year.
Victory also means Medvedev has secured 21 victories at twenty-one various events.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a competition with my two daughters together, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter Victoria, because the first title I got when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his past six title deciders, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
The player's retrieving strategy and regular outbursts on the playing surface had caused commentators to question if his ability to play at the highest level was finished.
Yet the athlete has implemented adjustments in the past month, making an effort to advance forward and compete aggressively, reinforced by an better serve.
He recovered from a break down in the first set against the difficult opponent, taking four of the concluding five games to go ahead.
The pair exchanged breaks in the second set before Moutet, striving for his maiden tour title, seized the initiative to force a final set.
The opponent rescued four early-game opportunities in a competitive third set before the champion broke to that score to secure the win.
Appropriately, he earned the win with a rally at the net, with Moutet unable to manage a return after over two and a half hours.
