Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hardcourt
A comeback Daniil Medvedev won his initial title for 882 days with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the competition final.
Medvedev, a ex- number one, has endured a torrid year, achieving just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a setback at the American major.
The player's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and eventually splitting with long-time mentor his previous coach.
Currently collaborating with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - culminating in a tightly fought three-set win over opponent Moutet.
It is his initial trophy following the Rome competition and first on a hardcourt from spring of the previous year.
Victory also means Medvedev has achieved twenty-one championships at twenty-one different competitions.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my two daughters together, so to secure a championship is especially meaningful," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my child my daughter was born was for her."
Medvedev, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, featuring in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's counter-punching approach and recurring outbursts on the tennis court had prompted commentators to doubt if his skill to compete at the top level was concluded.
However the athlete has made changes in the last few weeks, making an effort to approach the net and play assertively, reinforced by an enhanced serving game.
The champion came back from a deficit in the opening set against the challenging Frenchman, securing four of the concluding five exchanges to take the lead.
The competitors traded breaks in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden ATP Tour championship, took control to create a third set.
He rescued four initial opportunities in a close final set before the champion won the break to fifteen to close out the victory.
Fittingly, the winner earned the title with a shot at the net, with the Frenchman incapable to manage a return after a lengthy match.
