The changing of Switzerland's national guard was emphasised once again yesterday as Stanislas Wawrinka completed only his second victory in 15 matches against his fellow countryman Roger Federer to claim the Monte Carlo Masters.

Wawrinka, the world No 3, triumphed 4-6, 7-6, 6-2 to win his first Masters Series title and condemn Federer to a fourth defeat in his four appearances in finals at this historic tournament.
