Nineteen of the Russian's 21 titles have been earned on hard surfaces
A comeback the Russian player won his first title for 882 days with victory over opponent Moutet in the Almaty Open final.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has experienced a torrid year, managing just one win at the major tournaments and suffering a meltdown at the American major.
The player's unpredictability on the tennis tour - and issues with his serve in especial - resulted in him dropping out of the top ten and ultimately splitting with long-time trainer his previous coach.
Currently collaborating with Johansson and his other coach, he has gradually improved in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought competitive win over opponent Moutet.
It is Medvedev's first championship since the Rome competition and maiden on a hard court after spring of the previous year.
The win also means the Russian has won twenty-one titles at 21 distinct tournaments.
"It's the first time I am participating in a event with my two daughters at once, so to get a trophy is really nice," stated world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This championship is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the first title I won when my child her name was born was for her."
The tennis star, the past champion, had been defeated in his last six finals, comprising in Halle earlier this year.
His retrieving approach and regular outbursts on court had caused some to question if his ability to play at the highest level was concluded.
However the athlete has implemented adjustments in recent weeks, attempting to come to the net and play positively, backed up by an enhanced serve.
Medvedev fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky opponent, winning 4 of the final five points to take the lead.
The pair exchanged service breaks in the following set before the challenger, bidding for his initial tour victory, gained dominance to force a third set.
Moutet defended 4 initial break points in a tight deciding set before the Russian secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Suitably, Medvedev earned the win with a rally at the front of the court, with Moutet failing to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
