World number three and the 2013 Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka has advanced to the finals of the Monte Carlo Masters on Saturday after defeating Spanish David Ferrer 6-1, 7-6 (3) to set up a possible all-Swiss decider against Roger Federer.

Wawrinka made a string of unforced errors -- 40 compared to 12 for Ferrer -- he hit far more winners (31-8) in beating Ferrer for the third straight match.

Ferrer, who currently is the sixth ranked player in the world was in a good form when he won his quarter final clash against the eight-time champion Rafael Nadal on Friday, but was unable to withstand Wawrinka's aggressive approach, and spent much of the match pinned behind the baseline.

Wawrinka remains on course for his third title of the season, the fourth of his career on clay and his first in any Masters event.

Federer plays defending champion Novak Djokovic later today.
