Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been won on hard courts
A revitalized Medvedev secured his maiden title for nearly 30 months with success over opponent Moutet in the competition title decider.
Medvedev, a former number one, has experienced a difficult period, winning just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the US Open.
Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in specific - caused him exiting of the world's top 10 and finally separating with long-term trainer Cervara.
Now collaborating with Thomas Johansson and Goetzke, the tennis star has consistently improved in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over Frenchman Moutet.
It is his initial trophy following the Rome competition and first on a hard surface from spring of the previous year.
Victory also means he has achieved twenty-one victories at 21 different tournaments.
"For the first time I'm at a tournament with my two daughters simultaneously, so to get a title is really nice," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I achieved when my first daughter my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his past six title deciders, comprising in that event in the past months.
The player's retrieving play style and regular outbursts on the playing surface had led commentators to wonder if his ability to compete at the highest level was concluded.
But the athlete has implemented adjustments in the last few weeks, striving to approach the net and compete assertively, reinforced by an better serve.
Medvedev came back from a disadvantage in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, securing 4 of the concluding five points to go ahead.
Both players exchanged service breaks in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to create a decider.
Moutet rescued four initial break points in a tight third set before the Russian won the break to 15 to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner secured the title with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman unable to handle a return after over two and a half hours.
