19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized Medvedev won his initial championship for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition final.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has endured a torrid year, managing just a single victory at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the American major.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in specific - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and finally separating with long-term mentor Cervara.
Now working with his coach and his other coach, he has steadily improved in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive triumph over opponent Moutet.
This marks the player's maiden championship after the Italian tournament and initial on a hardcourt from spring of that year.
Success also signifies the Russian has won 21 championships at 21 distinct tournaments.
"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a championship is particularly special," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the maiden victory I won when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, featuring in Halle in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive approach and recurring outbursts on court had prompted commentators to doubt if his capacity to perform at the highest level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in the last few weeks, attempting to approach the net and compete positively, supported by an enhanced service.
The champion recovered from a break down in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, taking four of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
The pair swapped break points in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden ATP Tour title, gained dominance to force a third set.
The opponent defended 4 early-game chances in a competitive deciding set before Medvedev secured a break to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, he secured victory with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
