19 of Daniil Medvedev's 21 titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A revitalized the Russian player secured his initial trophy for 882 days with success over opponent Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has had a torrid year, managing just one match at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the New York tournament.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and issues with his serving in particular - led to him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately parting ways with long-term coach Gilles Cervara.
Currently collaborating with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, the tennis star has steadily progressed in the last few weeks - peaking in a hard-fought three-set triumph over challenger Moutet.
This marks Medvedev's initial trophy following the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hard surface since spring of the previous year.
Victory also means he has secured twenty-one championships at twenty-one various competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a event with my both daughters simultaneously, so to secure a trophy is especially meaningful," said tennis professional the champion.
"This victory is in dedication of my second daughter my daughter, because the maiden victory I won when my older daughter her name was delivered was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six title deciders, featuring in Halle previously this season.
The player's defensive strategy and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had caused some to question if his ability to play at the elite level was finished.
However the player has made changes in recent weeks, striving to come to the net and compete positively, supported by an better serve.
The champion recovered from a break down in the first set against the challenging Moutet, securing four of the last five exchanges to go ahead.
The pair traded break points in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his initial professional title, seized the initiative to force a third set.
The opponent defended 4 early-game break points in a close final set before Medvedev won the break to 15 to close out the victory.
Suitably, he clinched victory with a shot at the front of the court, with Moutet incapable to handle a shot after over two and a half hours.
