19 of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his first championship for 882 days with success over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid year, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a setback at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in especial - caused him exiting of the top ten and ultimately splitting with former coach his previous coach.
Currently working with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over Frenchman Moutet.
It is the player's first title since the Rome competition and initial on a hardcourt after March of that year.
Victory also means Medvedev has achieved 21 victories at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my children at once, so to get a trophy is especially meaningful," said tennis professional Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my younger daughter her name, because the maiden victory I got when my child my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six championship matches, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's counter-punching play style and frequent reactions on the tennis court had prompted observers to wonder if his capacity to compete at the highest level was finished.
Yet the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and play assertively, reinforced by an enhanced service.
The champion fought back from a break down in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, securing 4 of the final five games to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his first tour championship, took control to create a decider.
The opponent defended 4 early opportunities in a competitive final set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Appropriately, he earned the title with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to control a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
