Police in Oktibbeha County said Christopher Richard Doerr, who is from London, was released from jail Tuesday after posting a $50,500 bond. The 20-year-old Doerr also faces a charge of furnishing beer to a minor.

The woman told deputies she was assaulted at Doerr’s apartment in Starkville over the weekend and authorities were called to a hospital early Sunday.

Doerr was 3-5 in three fall tournaments in 2007 and went 3-3 in doubles play. University athletic department officials have not commented on Doerr’s status with the team.

A police spokesman said he doesn’t know if Doerr has hired an attorney.

Federer rallied from 3-1 down to win 7-6, taking the tiebreaker 10-7. His victory came days after a sore back contributed his struggles at the Masters Cup, where he failed to reach the semifinals.

John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg also played at the “Showdown of Champions,” which included four one-set matches.

Federer, now ranked No. 2, lost his No. 1 ranking to Rafael Nadal before winning his 13th Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open. He was forced him to withdraw from the Paris Masters because of his back and said he needs a break from tennis.

“It has been a tough season with lots of traveling and I could just sleep for a month,” he said. “I felt fine during the game, but obviously after a hard season I would need some time off. I’m glad we are at the end of the season and I will take it easy for a few weeks.”

The 10th-ranked Blake beat Federer the last time they played, at the Beijing Olympics.

After dominating tennis the last few years, Federer began the year recovering from mononucleosis. He still managed to reach three major finals and the semifinals at the fourth.

His U.S. Open win pulled him within one title of Pete Sampras’ Grand Slam record, but Federer was undecided on whether he would prefer to win his first French Open crown in 2009 or his sixth Wimbledon.

“That’s a pretty hard question to answer,” Federer said. “I’ll probably have the answer in August.”

In another singles match, McEnroe beat Borg 7-6 (13-11).

“I’m delighted to have won this match as it was really tough,” said McEnroe, who is famous for angrily disputing line calls. “I hate to say this but the linesmen did a good job.”

Federer and Borg then teamed to play McEnroe and Blake in doubles, and the Americans won 7-5.

The top-ranked Spaniard pulled out of the best-of-five championship because of tendinitis in his knee.

“Even without Nadal, Spain is a strong team,” Mancini said in Mar del Plata, the beachside resort town that will host the final. “We can’t relax.”

The best-of-five series opens Friday with two singles matches. Doubles is Saturday, with the reverse singles Sunday.

“We’re doing well. The team is good, calm and very motivated,” Mancini said. “All the points are winnable. We have a very professional team that can go after every one of the points.”

Juan Martin del Potro and David Nalbandian will play singles, but the doubles team will depend on the “results and intensity and length of the matches,” Mancini said. Nalbandian, who is 16-4 in Davis Cup singles, could join Jose Acasuso or Agustin Calleri for doubles.

Nalbandian, ranked No. 11, is sorry Nadal won’t be playing.

“He’s a friend and missing a Davis final is never nice,” Nalbandian said. “It’s unfortunate that he didn’t come. Without Rafa things change slightly, but we’re staying focused on what we have to do to win the series. It doesn’t matter who we’re playing.”

Spain is going with David Ferrrer, Feliciano Lopez, Fernando Verdasco and Marcel Granollers. The Spanish team has complained that the hard surface was slightly irregular and the ball didn’t bounce well in spots.

“The court is very good,” Del Potro said. “The bounce is normal for this type of surface and I didn’t sense anything weird.”

Del Potro, who is expected to play two singles matches, began training with the team Monday after returning Saturday from the Masters Cup in China.

The 20-year-old Argentine is ranked No. 9 after beginning the season No. 50. But four straight victories heading into the U.S. Open pushed him well up the rankings.

“Now I have to put all my effort into the Davis,” Del Potro said. “It’s the most important objective for Argentine tennis in the last few years.”

Argentina has twice reached the Davis Cup final, but lost both times, in 1981 and 2006.

“The season was good,” Del Potro said. “But I hope to finish it winning the Davis.”

“Wimbledon is something special. There is no substitute for it,” Federer told reporters Monday, on the eve of an exhibition match in Kuala Lumpur, billed as the “Showdown of Champions.”

Others playing Tuesday night are James Blake, ranked tenth, and two former Wimbledon champions, John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg. The quartet will play two singles matches and one doubles.

Federer is currently ranked No. 2 behind Spain’s Rafael Nadal, after spending a record 237 consecutive weeks at the top. He lost to fourth-ranked Andy Murray in the Masters Cup in Shanghai on Friday, hampered by the sore back that had forced him out of the Paris Masters two weeks ago.

Federer began the year recovering from a bout of mononucleosis. He lost the French Open and Wimbledon finals to Nadal, who overtook him for the No. 1 ranking. But Federer won the Olympic doubles gold, then his fifth straight U.S. Open to pull within one of Pete Sampras’ Grand Slam record.

“While I would also love to beat Pete Sampras’ Grand Slam record of 14 titles, and also to regain my No. 1 ranking, I place winning another Wimbledon title above all else,” said Federer.

McEnroe, who also attended the news conference, said he is excited to be playing in a match that will showcase “two generations of players in action.”

“Players nowadays are so fast and hit the ball even more powerful than during my time,” said McEnroe, also a former world No. 1, and winner of seven Grand Slam singles titles.

“I also believe that there are personalities in the men’s game, much more than in the women’s. We must capitalize on this as we can bring more fans to the game,” said McEnroe.

The 20-year-old Del Potro was eliminated from the seaon-ending tournament in China on Thursday and missed the first few days of training for the Nov. 21-23 final against Spain in Mar del Plata.

Del Potro is ranked No. 9 and is joined on the Argentine team by No. 11 Nalbandian, Agustin Calleri and Jose Acasuso.

The Spanish team arrived in Argentina on Friday and stepped up its training Monday in an attempt to adapt to the hard courts.

David Ferrrer trained for two hours with newcomer Marcel Granollers, who replaced the injured Rafael Nadal. Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco warmed up separately and then played doubles.

“We’re adapting as well as possible,” Spain captain Emilio Sanchez Vicario. “In some areas the ball’s bounce is different than on other courts, but that will affect us just as it will affect Argentina.”

Ferrer will play singles Friday in the best-of-five series, with Lopez probably playing other match. Verdasco and Lopez are certain to play doubles Saturday; Argentina has yet to settle on its duo.

“We’ll have to wait and see how David finishes Friday,” Acasuso said. “The initial plan is that he rest for Sunday, but it’s difficult to leave him out of doubles. It all depends on his physical state.”

Jelena Jankovic, the U.S. Open runner-up, already is No. 1 on the women’s side. Compatriot Ana Ivanovic, the French Open winner, held the spot earlier in the year before slipping to No. 5.

Nenad Zimonjic became the top doubles player when he and Canada’s Daniel Nestor teamed to beat Bob and Mike Bryan for the Masters Cup doubles title Sunday and end the American twins’ four-year run atop the year-end rankings.

And Djokovic?

His 6-1, 7-5 victory over Nikolay Davydenko in the Masters Cup singles final gave him 150 ranking points, pulling him within 10 of No. 2 Roger Federer.

“There’s been so much going on for Serbian tennis lately that it’s just incredible to describe how could we do it in such a small period of the time,” Djokovic said after dedicating his title to his family, support team and fans back in Serbia.

It’s particularly surprising for a country that emerged from a devastating civil war not long ago.

“Probably the fact that we didn’t have the best possible conditions gave us more motivation to succeed,” Djokovic said.

Now, tennis is a growth injury in a country with a population of less than 7.5 million. Courts are being hastily constructed and Djokovic confirmed Sunday that his family landed the tournament once known as the Dutch Open. It will be held in May.

“I think we deserved it,” Djokovic said. “We were fighting for it. It’s not easy to get the tournament these days. The schedule is really packed. There (are) a lot of big cities waiting upon an ATP Tour tournament or WTA tournament. So we are very fortunate.

“I think we used the momentum that Serbia has in this moment, that Serbia is one of the most successful countries in tennis.”

He called it a great opportunity to promote tennis in Serbia and help improve the country’s image, an effort he already is trying to lead.

“Being a professional tennis player and being successful in it makes you a good ambassador for your country,” Djokovic said.

Performances like the one he put in Sunday certainly help.

Djokovic was sharp from the start. He won the first five games, allowing Davydenko only six points. The fans started off clearly favoring the Serb, then started cheering for Davydenko in hopes of prolonging the match.

But they were all behind Djokovic when he finished. He tossed just about everything in reach - two rackets, wristbands and his sweat-soaked shirt - into the crowd at Qi Zhong stadium.

Then he headed to the players box, where his coach, family and a former Miss Universe were standing and cheering. A joyous group hug ensued, and they bounced up and down together, reveling in the Serb’s first title in six months.

But when Djokovic walked away, he realized he had cut his left hand somewhere in the joyous melee. It wouldn’t have been good form to drip blood on his new trophy, so he had to ask the trainer to apply a bandage before the awards ceremony.

“You don’t feel the pain in the moments of happiness,” he said.

The victory provided Djokovic with perfect bookends to his year. He won the Australian Open in January for his first Grand Slam and ended with what he called one of his best titles.

“I would put it in the same league as a Grand Slam because the best eight players in the world are participating here,” he said. “It’s a huge achievement for me.”

The $625,000 prize and a Mercedes SUV were nice, too. He got into the car, which was brought on court, and honked the horn.

And that cut? Not serious, and he has plenty of time to heal before starting 2009 - and think about how close he is to breaking the stranglehold that Rafael Nadal and Federer have had on the top two spots in the rankings since mid-2005.

Djokovic reckons he has time.

“Certainly, I believe that I have quality to reach the top spot in the upcoming year or, you know, whatever, next couple of years, 10 years,” he said. “That is my lifetime goal that I’ve been always trying to achieve.

“But I learned a lesson. If I pay too much attention on rankings, it doesn’t go the right way. So I just want to improve my game.”

The Bryan twins, who were playing for their third title here, held the top ranking and won Olympic bronze at Beijing in August.

“With all the points out there, having it hinge on … a few points at the end of the season is pretty amazing,” Bob Bryan said. “I guess we’ve got to tip our hat to them. They played a great tournament and had a great year. We look forward to battling it out next year for the same thing.”

Nestor and Zimonjic have now beaten the Americans three straight times and went through the tournament here undefeated, taking all three of their round-robin matches and the semifinals.

“To win the Masters Cup - for me for the first time, for Danny to defend the title - to play against the Bryans, who have been dominating the doubles the last four, five years, and to fight for No. 1 spot, you couldn’t ask for more as an athlete,” said Zimonjic, who won the mixed doubles title at the Australian Open in January with China’s Sun Tiantian.

Bob Bryan said he was optimistic heading into 2009 because his injured shoulder is feeling better.

“It’s been a lot worse,” he said. “This week it turned around. I was able to play some good tennis, hit some pretty big serves. So looking forward to next year. Hopefully it’s all gone by then.”

The Bryans are awaiting the Davis Cup against Switzerland, which won the Olympic gold.

“It’s obviously going to be a lot of fun … being on the same court with Roger Federer,” Bob Bryan said. “The guy’s the best player of all time.”

The Bryans also feel they have plenty of good tennis left in them.

“We still think we’re getting better, even though we’re 30 years old,” Mike Bryan said. “It’s kind of like a fine wine: you get better with age when you play doubles and you learn more things.”
