Nineteen of the Russian's 21 victories have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player secured his first championship for 882 days with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has had a torrid season, managing just one match at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the New York tournament.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in particular - caused him falling of the world's top 10 and finally parting ways with long-time mentor his previous coach.
Now training with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over challenger Moutet.
This represents his maiden trophy after the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface since spring of 2023.
Victory also means the Russian has won twenty-one championships at twenty-one different tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a event with my children at once, so to win a championship is particularly special," commented tennis professional Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the initial championship I got when my child her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six title deciders, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
His counter-punching play style and regular emotional displays on court had prompted observers to wonder if his capacity to play at the elite level was finished.
But the 29-year-old has made changes in the past month, attempting to come to the net and compete assertively, supported by an improved service.
Medvedev recovered from a deficit in the first set against the challenging Moutet, taking four of the final five points to go ahead.
The pair swapped break points in the second set before Moutet, striving for his first tour title, seized the initiative to create a third set.
He defended four early-game opportunities in a tight deciding set before the champion won the break to that score to serve for the match.
Suitably, the winner earned victory with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
