Nineteen of the Russian's 21 championships have been won on hardcourt
A comeback Daniil Medvedev won his initial title for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a ex- world number one, has endured a challenging season, achieving just one win at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his service game in especial - caused him exiting of the top ten and eventually splitting with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested three-set triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents his first title since the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface after spring of the previous year.
Success also signifies Medvedev has secured 21 championships at twenty-one various competitions.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a title is really nice," said tennis professional Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the first title I won when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six title deciders, featuring in Halle earlier this year.
His retrieving approach and regular reactions on court had led observers to wonder if his skill to perform at the highest level was over.
But the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to approach the net and play positively, backed up by an improved serving game.
Medvedev fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the challenging opponent, securing 4 of the concluding five games to go ahead.
The pair traded service breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his maiden professional championship, gained dominance to push for a third set.
He defended 4 early chances in a tight final set before the champion won the break to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, Medvedev secured victory with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent incapable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
