19 of Medvedev's twenty-one championships have been won on hard courts
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden title for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament final.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has endured a torrid year, winning just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his service game in particular - resulted in him falling of the top ten and eventually splitting with long-term coach Cervara.
Presently working with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually progressed in the recent weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
It is Medvedev's first trophy since the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt since that period of that year.
The win also signifies he has achieved twenty-one titles at 21 different tournaments.
"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my children together, so to win a title is really nice," commented world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in tribute of my child her name, because the first title I got when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had lost his previous six title deciders, comprising in that event earlier this year.
His defensive play style and regular outbursts on the playing surface had caused observers to question if his capacity to perform at the highest level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the last few weeks, making an effort to come to the net and perform positively, reinforced by an better serve.
The champion recovered from a break down in the opening set against the difficult Frenchman, securing four of the last five exchanges to go ahead.
The pair swapped break points in the middle set before the challenger, striving for his first tour championship, took control to create a decider.
The opponent rescued four initial break points in a close final set before the Russian secured a break to 15 to serve for the match.
Suitably, the winner clinched the win with a point at the net, with his opponent failing to control a return after over two and a half hours.
