ROME: Djokovic pounced on a series of unforced errors from final opponent Stanislas Wawrinka to win the Rome Masters.

Djokovic claimed a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 win over his Swiss opponent, who ended the most remarkable week of his career with a breakout performance that will take him up among the top ten when the ATP rankings are announced Monday.

Wawrinka looked like dealing Djokovic a disheartening defeat on the clay of the Foro Italico, where both finalists made it through the day before due to the withdrawal of opponents.
