19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been earned on hardcourt
A resurgent the Russian player won his first title for nearly 30 months with victory over Frenchman Moutet in the tournament championship match.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has endured a challenging year, managing just one match at the big events and experiencing a difficult moment at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's varied form on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in particular - led to him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually separating with long-time mentor his previous coach.
Presently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily progressed in the recent weeks - culminating in a tightly fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Corentin Moutet.
This represents the player's initial title after the Rome competition and maiden on a hardcourt since that period of the previous year.
Success also signifies the Russian has secured twenty-one titles at twenty-one different competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a tournament with my children together, so to win a title is especially meaningful," commented tennis professional the champion.
"This championship is in tribute of my child her name, because the initial championship I won when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, including in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's counter-punching play style and frequent reactions on the tennis court had prompted commentators to wonder if his skill to play at the top level was concluded.
Yet the player has made changes in the past month, attempting to approach the net and perform positively, backed up by an improved serve.
The champion fought back from a break down in the opening set against the tricky opponent, winning four of the final five exchanges to go ahead.
The pair exchanged break points in the second set before Moutet, striving for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to force a decider.
Moutet saved four early-game chances in a tight third set before the Russian won the break to that score to close out the victory.
Fittingly, Medvedev clinched victory with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman incapable to handle a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
