Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been won on hard courts
A comeback Medvedev claimed his first trophy for 882 days with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has endured a torrid year, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and experiencing a setback at the US Open.
His varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in particular - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with long-term mentor Cervara.
Presently training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually improved in the recent weeks - climaxing in a hard-fought three-set win over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This marks the player's initial title following the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt after spring of the previous year.
Victory also indicates Medvedev has won twenty-one titles at 21 various events.
"This marks the first occasion I am participating in a tournament with my two daughters together, so to secure a championship is particularly special," stated world number 14 Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the first title I got when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had failed in his last six finals, featuring in the German tournament previously this season.
His counter-punching strategy and regular outbursts on the playing surface had prompted some to wonder if his capacity to compete at the highest level was finished.
But the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, attempting to come to the net and perform positively, reinforced by an improved serve.
He came back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky opponent, securing 4 of the concluding five games to go ahead.
The competitors exchanged service breaks in the following set before Moutet, attempting for his maiden tour victory, took control to force a final set.
He rescued 4 early-game opportunities in a tight third set before Medvedev won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Appropriately, he secured the title with a point at the net area, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
