19 of Medvedev's 21 titles have been won on hard courts
A comeback Medvedev claimed his maiden title for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
Medvedev, a former number one, has endured a torrid season, winning just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the US Open.
His varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serving in specific - resulted in him exiting of the top ten and ultimately separating with former trainer his previous coach.
Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently improved in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.
This marks his maiden trophy since the Rome competition and maiden on a hardcourt after spring of 2023.
Success also means Medvedev has secured 21 victories at 21 various competitions.
"For the first time I am participating in a tournament with my children simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had failed in his past six championship matches, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
His defensive strategy and recurring emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted observers to wonder if his ability to compete at the elite level was over.
However the player has made changes in recent weeks, attempting to advance forward and perform positively, supported by an better serving game.
The champion came back from a break down in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, winning 4 of the final five exchanges to go ahead.
The pair traded breaks in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his first tour title, seized the initiative to force a third set.
He rescued four early-game chances in a competitive final set before the Russian broke to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner earned the win with a shot at the net area, with the Frenchman unable to manage a shot after over two and a half hours.
