19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been achieved on hard courts
A resurgent Medvedev won his initial title for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament final.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a difficult season, managing just a single victory at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in specific - led to him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with former mentor his previous coach.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has steadily improved in the past month - peaking in a tightly fought competitive triumph over challenger Moutet.
This marks his maiden trophy since the Italian tournament and first on a hard court after spring of 2023.
Victory also means he has won 21 titles at 21 various competitions.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters together, so to get a trophy is particularly special," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter her name, because the first title I won when my older daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his past six finals, including in that event in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive strategy and recurring reactions on the tennis court had caused observers to question if his capacity to compete at the elite level was over.
Yet the athlete has altered his approach in the past month, striving to come to the net and compete assertively, backed up by an improved serving game.
Medvedev recovered from a break down in the first set against the challenging Frenchman, winning 4 of the concluding five games to take the lead.
Both players swapped service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first tour championship, seized the initiative to push for a third set.
Moutet defended 4 early chances in a competitive deciding set before the Russian secured a break to 15 to close out the victory.
Fittingly, he secured victory with a shot at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
