19 of the Russian's 21 victories have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent the Russian player secured his first trophy for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a difficult year, achieving just a single victory at the Grand Slams and suffering a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
His varied form on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in especial - led to him dropping out of the top ten and eventually separating with long-term mentor Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has gradually advanced in the past month - climaxing in a hard-fought competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
It is his first title following the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface since spring of 2023.

"This marks the first occasion I'm at a tournament with my two daughters together, so to secure a title is especially meaningful," stated ranked player the champion.
"This victory is in tribute of my second daughter her name, because the initial championship I won when my older daughter my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his previous six championship matches, comprising in that event in the past months.
The player's defensive approach and regular emotional displays on the playing surface had prompted observers to wonder if his skill to compete at the highest level was finished.
Yet the player has made changes in the past month, attempting to approach the net and play aggressively, supported by an enhanced serving game.
He fought back from a break down in the first set against the tricky Frenchman, winning 4 of the final five exchanges to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged breaks in the middle set before the challenger, attempting for his initial tour championship, gained dominance to push for a final set.
The opponent rescued four initial break points in a competitive third set before the champion broke to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, the winner secured victory with a rally at the front of the court, with his opponent failing to control a shot after over two and a half hours.
