19 of Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hard courts
A resurgent Medvedev claimed his first title for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a former world number one, has had a torrid year, winning just a single victory at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
His unpredictability on the tennis tour - and difficulties with his serve in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with former coach Gilles Cervara.
Presently working with Johansson and his other coach, he has steadily progressed in the past month - culminating in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 win over challenger Moutet.
It is the player's initial championship following the Rome competition and initial on a hardcourt from that period of 2023.
Success also signifies he has achieved twenty-one victories at 21 various tournaments.
"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my children together, so to secure a championship is really nice," said tennis professional Medvedev.
"This victory is in honour of my younger daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I achieved when my older daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had lost his past six championship matches, comprising in the German tournament in the past months.
Medvedev's retrieving play style and recurring emotional displays on court had caused commentators to doubt if his ability to play at the highest level was finished.
Yet the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, striving to approach the net and compete positively, reinforced by an better service.
The champion recovered from a deficit in the first set against the difficult opponent, securing 4 of the concluding five games to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged break points in the following set before the challenger, bidding for his first ATP Tour championship, took control to create a final set.
The opponent defended four early-game opportunities in a close third set before the Russian secured a break to that score to secure the win.
Fittingly, the winner secured the title with a shot at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to manage a return after over two and a half hours.
