A revitalized the Russian player secured his maiden trophy for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a torrid year, managing just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in specific - led to him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually splitting with long-term trainer his previous coach.
Presently collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually advanced in the recent weeks - peaking in a hard-fought competitive triumph over opponent Moutet.
This represents his initial trophy following the 2023 Rome Masters and maiden on a hard surface from that period of 2023.
Success also means he has won 21 titles at twenty-one different events.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my both daughters at once, so to get a championship is really nice," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his past six finals, comprising in that event previously this season.
His retrieving play style and regular emotional displays on the tennis court had caused commentators to doubt if his capacity to compete at the elite level was finished.
However the player has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to come to the net and play aggressively, reinforced by an better service.
He came back from a deficit in the first set against the difficult opponent, winning four of the last five games to take the lead.
Both players traded breaks in the middle set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden professional championship, took control to create a third set.
He rescued four initial break points in a close deciding set before the Russian secured a break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Fittingly, he secured the win with a point at the net area, with Moutet incapable to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
