19 of the Russian's twenty-one titles have been won on hard surfaces
A comeback the Russian player secured his maiden title for over two years with a win over Frenchman Moutet in the competition championship match.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has had a challenging season, achieving just one match at the big events and undergoing a difficult moment at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serve in particular - led to him falling of the world's top 10 and eventually splitting with former trainer Gilles Cervara.
Currently working with his coach and Goetzke, he has consistently progressed in the past month - culminating in a hard-fought competitive victory over Frenchman Moutet.
This marks the player's initial championship after the Rome competition and initial on a hardcourt after March of the previous year.
The win also indicates the Russian has achieved 21 titles at twenty-one different competitions.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a event with my children together, so to win a championship is especially meaningful," stated world number 14 the champion.
"This championship is in dedication of my younger daughter her name, because the initial championship I achieved when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the former major winner, had failed in his past six finals, including in the German tournament in the past months.
The player's defensive play style and recurring reactions on the tennis court had prompted observers to doubt if his capacity to perform at the top level was concluded.
However the 29-year-old has altered his approach in the last few weeks, attempting to come to the net and play positively, reinforced by an improved serve.
The champion fought back from a deficit in the initial set against the tricky opponent, winning 4 of the final five games to take the lead.
The pair exchanged break points in the second set before the challenger, bidding for his maiden tour championship, seized the initiative to force a final set.
He defended 4 initial opportunities in a competitive deciding set before the Russian secured a break to that score to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he earned victory with a shot at the net area, with his opponent failing to handle a volley after two hours and 38 minutes.
