Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been won on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player secured his maiden trophy for 882 days with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has endured a difficult season, managing just one win at the major tournaments and undergoing a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and struggles with his service game in specific - caused him falling of the elite rankings and eventually separating with long-term trainer Cervara.
Currently working with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's initial title since the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard surface since that period of that year.
The win also indicates Medvedev has won twenty-one victories at 21 distinct events.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my both daughters simultaneously, so to secure a championship is particularly special," said tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I got when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six finals, including in that event in the past months.
His counter-punching play style and regular reactions on court had led observers to wonder if his skill to perform at the elite level was concluded.
Yet the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and compete assertively, supported by an better serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging opponent, winning 4 of the final five exchanges to take the lead.
The pair traded break points in the second set before the challenger, striving for his maiden tour title, gained dominance to push for a third set.
Moutet rescued 4 early opportunities in a competitive third set before the champion won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Appropriately, the winner secured the title with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
