Nineteen of the Russian's 21 titles have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev secured his initial championship for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The athlete, a former top-ranked player, has endured a difficult period, winning just a single victory at the big events and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his serving in specific - caused him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately parting ways with long-time coach Gilles Cervara.
Now collaborating with his coach and his other coach, he has steadily improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a hard-fought competitive triumph over challenger Corentin Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's first championship after the 2023 Rome Masters and first on a hard court from March of that year.
The win also means the Russian has won twenty-one titles at twenty-one distinct tournaments.
"For the first time I have attended a competition with my two daughters at once, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," commented world number 14 the champion.
"This title is in dedication of my child Victoria, because the initial championship I won when my child my daughter was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the former major winner, had been defeated in his previous six championship matches, featuring in Halle previously this season.
His defensive play style and recurring outbursts on court had led observers to doubt if his capacity to play at the top level was concluded.
However the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to come to the net and perform aggressively, supported by an improved serve.
The champion recovered from a disadvantage in the opening set against the challenging Moutet, winning four of the last five exchanges to gain the advantage.
The pair traded service breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial tour victory, gained dominance to create a third set.
He defended four early opportunities in a tight deciding set before the Russian won the break to 15 to serve for the match.
Appropriately, Medvedev secured the title with a rally at the net, with his opponent unable to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
