Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been achieved on hard courts
A comeback Daniil Medvedev won his initial trophy for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The athlete, a ex- number one, has endured a difficult year, managing just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and struggles with his serve in particular - resulted in him falling of the top ten and finally splitting with former coach his previous coach.
Currently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a closely contested competitive win over Frenchman Corentin Moutet.
It is his initial trophy after the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface after spring of that year.
Success also indicates Medvedev has won 21 titles at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a event with my two daughters at once, so to win a trophy is really nice," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This victory is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had lost his past six title deciders, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's defensive approach and recurring outbursts on court had led observers to doubt if his capacity to perform at the highest level was concluded.
However the player has altered his approach in the past month, striving to approach the net and perform positively, supported by an better serve.
The champion came back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, securing four of the final five exchanges to take the lead.
The competitors swapped breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, gained dominance to force a final set.
The opponent saved four early break points in a close final set before the Russian won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Suitably, Medvedev earned the title with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to manage a shot after a lengthy match.
