Federer beats injured Djokovic

Roger Federer will try to win the Monte Carlo Masters for the first time and Stanislas Wawrinka his first Masters title anywhere when they meet in an all-Swiss final today. Federer ousted injured defending champion Novak Djokovic, 7-5, 6-2, yesterday after Wawrinka had beaten sixth-seeded David Ferrer of Spain, 6-1, 7-6 (3).

Djokovic played with heavy strapping on his right wrist and was unable to serve or return to his usual level. "I just rest now. I cannot play tennis for some time," he said. "How long, I don't know. It's really not in my hands anymore."

Sunderland deals Chelsea a blow

In another twist to this unpredictable English Premier League season, last-place Sunderland damaged Chelsea's title hopes with a 2-1 upset at Stamford Bridge. After surprise losses to Aston Villa and Crystal Palace recently, Chelsea again stuttered against weaker opposition, as Jose Mourinho's 77-match unbeaten home streak as Chelsea boss came to an end in a major boost for league leader Liverpool. Earlier in the week, Sunderland dulled Manchester City's title bid with a 2-2 draw. -- AP
