19 of Medvedev's 21 victories have been earned on hard surfaces
A comeback the Russian player secured his maiden title for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The Russian, a former number one, has had a difficult period, managing just one win at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in particular - resulted in him falling of the top ten and finally splitting with long-term trainer Cervara.
Presently training with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, the tennis star has gradually improved in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought three-set victory over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden championship following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard surface after that period of the previous year.
The win also means he has secured twenty-one victories at 21 different tournaments.
"For the first time I'm at a competition with my two daughters simultaneously, so to secure a championship is really nice," commented tennis professional Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my second daughter her name, because the first title I won when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, comprising in that event previously this season.
The player's defensive approach and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had prompted commentators to question if his ability to play at the top level was finished.
But the athlete has made changes in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and compete aggressively, backed up by an improved service.
The champion recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, winning 4 of the last five games to go ahead.
The competitors exchanged service breaks in the middle set before the Frenchman, attempting for his maiden tour victory, took control to push for a decider.
The opponent rescued 4 initial break points in a tight final set before the champion secured a break to 15 to serve for the match.
Suitably, Medvedev secured victory with a rally at the net, with his opponent failing to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
