CNN  — 

Stan Wawrinka has three grand slam titles to his name but this could be the sweetest trophy he has hoisted yet.

The Swiss tennis star was presented with a delicious looking chocolate replica of the US Open trophy he won in September as he attended a promotional event for next year’s Geneva Open Wednesday.

Switzerland is renowned for its chocolate making expertise and is home to renowned confectionery companies such as Lindt – which sponsors Wawrinka’s pal and fellow Swiss Roger Federer – and Laderach.

Wawrinka won the 2016 Geneva Open back in May, his first title on home soil, when he defeated Marin Cilic in the final.

But the world No. 4 had to settle for a more conventional trinket and check for 88,900 Euro ($94,175) that day.

Wawrinka went on to claim his third grand slam crown when he upset Novak Djokovic in the final of the US Open at Flushing Meadows in September.
