Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been achieved on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player claimed his first trophy for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the competition final.
The athlete, a former world number one, has endured a torrid period, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
The player's inconsistency on the professional circuit - and issues with his serve in specific - led to him dropping out of the elite rankings and eventually parting ways with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently training with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, he has steadily advanced in the last few weeks - climaxing in a closely contested 7-5 4-6 6-3 triumph over opponent Corentin Moutet.
It is Medvedev's maiden trophy following the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface since that period of that year.
Victory also means Medvedev has won 21 championships at 21 distinct events.
"For the first time I'm at a competition with my two daughters together, so to get a title is really nice," commented ranked player the champion.
"This title is in honour of my second daughter her name, because the initial championship I got when my child my daughter was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had lost his last six finals, comprising in the German tournament previously this season.
Medvedev's defensive approach and regular emotional displays on court had led observers to wonder if his ability to play at the elite level was concluded.
However the player has altered his approach in the past month, striving to advance forward and perform aggressively, supported by an enhanced serving game.
He recovered from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky opponent, securing four of the final five points to gain the advantage.
Both players exchanged break points in the following set before the Frenchman, striving for his initial ATP Tour title, took control to create a decider.
The opponent rescued four early-game break points in a tight deciding set before Medvedev secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he earned the title with a point at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
