Nineteen of the Russian's 21 championships have been achieved on hard surfaces
A resurgent Daniil Medvedev claimed his maiden title for nearly 30 months with success over Frenchman Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The athlete, a former number one, has endured a challenging year, achieving just one win at the major tournaments and experiencing a difficult moment at the American major.
Medvedev's unpredictability on the ATP Tour - and difficulties with his serve in especial - resulted in him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually separating with long-term trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now collaborating with Johansson and Goetzke, Medvedev has steadily improved in the recent weeks - culminating in a closely contested three-set victory over challenger Moutet.
This marks his maiden championship after the Rome competition and maiden on a hard surface since March of that year.
Success also means he has achieved 21 victories at 21 different events.
"It's the first time I have attended a tournament with my both daughters at once, so to get a championship is really nice," said tennis professional Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my child her name, because the first title I got when my child my daughter was born was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had lost his previous six title deciders, including in the German tournament earlier this year.
Medvedev's retrieving strategy and regular outbursts on the playing surface had prompted commentators to wonder if his capacity to compete at the top level was concluded.
But the 29-year-old has altered his approach in recent weeks, attempting to approach the net and perform assertively, reinforced by an improved serving game.
He recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the challenging opponent, taking four of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors swapped breaks in the second set before the Frenchman, striving for his maiden professional title, gained dominance to create a decider.
Moutet defended four early break points in a close final set before Medvedev broke to 15 to secure the win.
Fittingly, he clinched the title with a rally at the net, with the Frenchman failing to control a return after a lengthy match.
