Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been won on hard surfaces
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev secured his first title for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a former world number one, has endured a difficult period, managing just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serving in especial - resulted in him falling of the elite rankings and ultimately separating with former coach Gilles Cervara.
Now training with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently improved in the past month - peaking in a hard-fought three-set victory over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This marks his first title following the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface from that period of the previous year.
Victory also means the Russian has secured 21 titles at twenty-one various competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to win a championship is really nice," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This title is in tribute of my child my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, featuring in Halle previously this season.
Medvedev's retrieving approach and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had prompted commentators to doubt if his capacity to perform at the top level was concluded.
But the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to approach the net and compete aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, securing 4 of the final five games to gain the advantage.
Both players traded breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his first professional victory, took control to create a decider.
The opponent saved four initial opportunities in a tight deciding set before Medvedev broke to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner secured the title with a rally at the net, with Moutet unable to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
