Nineteen of Medvedev's 21 championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his maiden title for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open championship match.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has had a challenging season, winning just one win at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his serve in particular - caused him falling of the top ten and finally splitting with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently working with Johansson and his other coach, he has consistently advanced in the recent weeks - climaxing in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over challenger Moutet.
This represents the player's first trophy after the Rome competition and maiden on a hardcourt after March of the previous year.
Success also indicates the Russian has won 21 titles at twenty-one distinct events.
"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my both daughters simultaneously, so to get a trophy is particularly special," said ranked player Medvedev.
"This championship is in tribute of my second daughter her name, because the first title I achieved when my child her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six finals, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
The player's counter-punching approach and recurring reactions on court had caused commentators to doubt if his capacity to compete at the top level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, making an effort to advance forward and perform positively, reinforced by an improved serve.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the difficult Moutet, securing 4 of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
Both players swapped break points in the middle set before Moutet, attempting for his first ATP Tour championship, took control to force a final set.
Moutet defended 4 initial break points in a tight final set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, the winner clinched victory with a point at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to manage a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
