Nineteen of the Russian's twenty-one championships have been earned on hard courts
A revitalized the Russian player secured his first title for over two years with success over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
The Russian, a former top-ranked player, has had a torrid period, managing just one win at the Grand Slams and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.
His inconsistency on the ATP Tour - and issues with his serve in particular - led to him exiting of the elite rankings and eventually separating with former coach his previous coach.
Now training with Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has steadily advanced in the last few weeks - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This represents the player's initial trophy following the Italian tournament and first on a hardcourt since spring of the previous year.
Victory also means he has achieved 21 victories at 21 different tournaments.
"This marks the first occasion I have attended a event with my both daughters together, so to win a title is particularly special," commented ranked player Medvedev.
"This title is in honour of my second daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had been defeated in his past six championship matches, comprising in that event previously this season.
The player's counter-punching approach and regular reactions on the tennis court had caused some to wonder if his skill to play at the top level was concluded.
But the athlete has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and compete aggressively, backed up by an better serving game.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky opponent, winning four of the final five points to gain the advantage.
The competitors exchanged breaks in the following set before Moutet, bidding for his first tour championship, took control to push for a third set.
Moutet defended four initial opportunities in a close final set before Medvedev secured a break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Suitably, the winner earned the title with a rally at the net, with his opponent failing to handle a volley after over two and a half hours.
