French Open finalist Robin Soderling overcame some second set nerves to beat Argentine Juan Monaco 6-3 7-6, clinching the Swedish Open title and his first ATP win on clay.
World number 12 Soderling, whose previous three ATP wins had all come indoors, ended a nine-year drought of Swedish winners here.
Back in 2000, Soderling's current coach and former world number two Magnus Norman won beating Andreas Vinciguerra, another Swede, in the final.
