Top seed Stan Wawrinka defended his Geneva claycourt title on Saturday, rallying for a set down to see off German outsider Mischa Zverev 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. The Swiss player's first trophy of the season gives the 32-year-old World No. 3 a boost ahead of the French Open - which he won in 2015 - and where he opens against Slovak Jozef Kovalik today.

"I'm extremely happy to win my second title in Switzerland. It means a lot to me. This is the first time that my daughter is in the stadium when I win the title and that makes it even more special," said Wawrinka.
