Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one victories have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player won his maiden championship for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open title decider.
The Russian, a former number one, has endured a difficult year, winning just a single victory at the big events and experiencing a meltdown at the US Open.
Medvedev's inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his service game in specific - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and eventually parting ways with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently working with his coach and his other coach, he has gradually improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a hard-fought 7-5 4-6 6-3 victory over opponent Moutet.
This represents the player's first title since the Italian tournament and maiden on a hardcourt after that period of the previous year.
Success also means the Russian has secured 21 titles at 21 distinct competitions.
"For the first time I am participating in a event with my children simultaneously, so to get a title is really nice," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my younger daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my child Alisa was born was for her."
The athlete, the 2021 US Open champion, had failed in his past six championship matches, comprising in that event earlier this year.
The player's defensive approach and frequent outbursts on court had led commentators to doubt if his ability to perform at the elite level was over.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the past month, attempting to advance forward and compete assertively, backed up by an enhanced serve.
He fought back from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult opponent, securing 4 of the final five games to go ahead.
Both players swapped break points in the following set before the challenger, striving for his first ATP Tour championship, took control to push for a final set.
Moutet defended four early break points in a close final set before the Russian broke to 15 to close out the victory.
Appropriately, he clinched the title with a point at the front of the court, with his opponent unable to manage a return after a lengthy match.
