19 of the Russian's 21 championships have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev secured his initial championship for over two years with a win over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has experienced a difficult period, managing just one match at the Grand Slams and suffering a meltdown at the US Open.
Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serving in especial - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and ultimately parting ways with former trainer his previous coach.
Now collaborating with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has consistently advanced in the recent weeks - culminating in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents the player's maiden championship following the Italian tournament and first on a hard surface from spring of that year.
Success also means Medvedev has secured twenty-one victories at 21 distinct competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a competition with my both daughters at once, so to secure a championship is especially meaningful," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had failed in his last six finals, comprising in that event in the past months.
His defensive strategy and recurring outbursts on the playing surface had led commentators to question if his capacity to perform at the elite level was over.
Yet the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and compete positively, backed up by an enhanced serve.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the tricky opponent, winning 4 of the final five points to take the lead.
Both players traded breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his first professional championship, took control to create a final set.
Moutet defended 4 initial chances in a competitive third set before the Russian secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, he secured the title with a shot at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to manage a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
