- Journal Staff and Wires

LILLE, France — Roger Federer has now claimed all the big prizes in tennis and, for once, will be happy to share his latest trophy with others.

Federer ended a week of uncertaint­y about his aging back with a vintage performanc­e to give Switzerlan­d an emphatic victory over France and its first Davis Cup.

His 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Richard Gasquet in the first reverse singles Sunday sealed an unassailab­le 3-1 lead. That also proved to be the final result, with the final match between Gael Monfils and Stan Wawrinka not played.
