19 of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player won his maiden trophy for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has had a difficult period, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in particular - led to him dropping out of the top ten and eventually splitting with long-time coach Cervara.
Currently training with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has steadily advanced in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's initial championship following the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hardcourt after that period of the previous year.
The win also signifies the Russian has won 21 victories at twenty-one distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is particularly special," commented ranked player the champion.
"This championship is in tribute of my child her name, because the initial championship I won when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his last six finals, featuring in Halle previously this season.
His defensive approach and regular reactions on the playing surface had led observers to question if his skill to play at the elite level was finished.
Yet the player has altered his approach in the last few weeks, attempting to approach the net and perform assertively, supported by an improved serve.
He recovered from a break down in the initial set against the tricky Moutet, taking four of the concluding five games to go ahead.
The competitors swapped break points in the second set before the Frenchman, bidding for his first professional title, took control to push for a decider.
The opponent defended four early chances in a close third set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Appropriately, Medvedev earned the title with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
