Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's twenty-one titles have been earned on hard courts
A resurgent the Russian player claimed his maiden trophy for 882 days with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition final.
Medvedev, a former world number one, has endured a challenging year, winning just one match at the Grand Slams and suffering a difficult moment at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his serving in specific - caused him exiting of the top ten and eventually parting ways with long-term coach his previous coach.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has steadily improved in the recent weeks - culminating in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Moutet.
It is his first championship since the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard court after spring of 2023.
The win also indicates the Russian has won twenty-one victories at twenty-one different events.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my children together, so to get a trophy is really nice," stated ranked player the champion.
"This victory is in honour of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my child Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his last six title deciders, including in the German tournament previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive approach and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had led commentators to wonder if his skill to compete at the top level was over.
Yet the athlete has made changes in the past month, striving to advance forward and perform aggressively, reinforced by an better service.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the initial set against the challenging Moutet, taking four of the final five points to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged break points in the second set before the challenger, attempting for his initial tour championship, took control to push for a decider.
Moutet rescued four initial break points in a competitive final set before the Russian won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, the winner clinched victory with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to handle a volley after a lengthy match.
