Roger Federer will open Switzerlands Davis Cup first-round match against Serbia by playing Ilija Bozoljac on Friday, while Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka faces Dusan Lajovic. Switzerland is an overwhelming favourite against Serbia, last years finalist and the 2010 Davis Cup champion, which will be without Novak Djokovic and two other of its top players. The second-ranked Djokovic decided to rest after losing to Wawrinka in the Australian Open quarterfinals, while Janko Tipsarevic is nursing a heel injury and Viktor Troicki is serving a 12-month doping suspension for failing to appear at a test. That means Lajovic at No. 102 is Serbias highest-ranked team member. Federer was a surprising inclusion in the Swiss team, having played only one first-round match since 2004. He last represented Switzerland in September 2012, helping win a relegation playoff against the Netherlands. "I always kept a tiny door open, Im just happy to be here," Federer said. "Spending a week with some of my best friends, playing here was something I was excited about when I left Australia." He said he felt in shape after the Australian Open, where he lost in the semifinals against Rafael Nadal. "We talked about it and the decision was made pretty quickly," Federer said. "I am really excited seeing Stan playing here after his amazing victory in Australia." Wawrinka jumped to a career-best ranking at No. 3, and now finds himself in the unusual position of being the highest-ranked Swiss player. "I just think in Melbourne all the pieces came together. I was really 100 per cent playing Novak," Wawrinka said. "When I am there and play my best game, I can beat all those players." Serbias doubles specialist Nenad Zimonjic said he was surprised that both Wawrinka and Federer came for the first-round match. "Naturally, it does not work to our advantage because they are stronger," Zimonjic said. "But it will be a fantastic experience for both our team and the audience." The series opens Friday on indoor hard court in Novi Sad. Doubles are Saturday and reverse singles Sunday. The winner plays Belgium or Kazakhstan in the quarter-finals in April.

Subban has picked the right time of the year to go on an offensive tear.SAN FRANCISCO - When Chris Davis is in the on-deck circle, its not often hes watching a teammate walked intentionally. It was no bother either way. He was just as ready to hit. Davis hit a two-out, two-run double in the 10th inning and the Baltimore Orioles beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2 Friday night. "Im just looking for a pitch over the plate," Davis said. "Thats a tough matchup. Lopez is definitely tough on left-handers." Davis hit a soaring ball that bounced up against the centre field wall, scoring Manny Machado, who had two doubles in the game, and Adam Jones, who was given the free pass. "When I first hit it I thought it was going to hang up there," Davis said. "When I rounded first I looked to see where the outfielders were playing me and saw it was going to fall." Davis, who also played flawlessly in the field, drove in his 107th and 108th runs of the season. "Chris made a lot of big plays," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Hes capable out there.

"He kept competing and didnt give in." Orioles starter Chris Tillman threw eight stellar innings, striking out a career-high nine, giving up one run on four hits and walking one. "It felt really good. I got into a groove early and everything was working for me," Tillman said. "These guys are fun to watch. I just need to throw strikes and let them go to work." Brandon Belt had two hits, including a home run, for the Giants, who have lost five of seven. Javier Lopez (1-2) allowed all three runs in the 10th to take the loss. Tillman was on his way to becoming the first Orioles pitcher to win eight road games in a season before Johnson blew his first save since July 1. "The way he pitched he deserved the win," Johnson said. "I didnt do my job. I didnt think I threw that many bad pitches. I went out there with good stuff. A couple of balls got through." Ryan Vogelsong, who was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list before the game, allowed two runs on six hits over six innings. He walked three and struck out four. "I missed it.

Jones singled him home to put the Orioles ahead, 1-0. Hardy led off the second with his 20th homer, giving Baltimore a 2-0 lead. Vogelsong, in his first appearance since May 20, settled in afterward. After allowing six hits in the first three innings, he retired 10 of the final 12 batters he faced. "He pitched well," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He got better as he went along and gave us six good innings. He did a great job. Thats a nice effort." Belt hit his 13th home run of the season and second in as many days, a solo shot, with two outs, to the deepest part of the park. Tillman retired 16 in a row after walking Pablo Sandoval in the second. He struck out the side in the second and the first two batters he faced in the third. Machado doubled off Brandon Crawfords glove with one out in the 10th. After getting Nick Markakis on a comebacker, the left-handed Lopez walked Jones intentionally and got ahead of Davis 1-2 before giving up the two-run double. Wieters followed with an RBI single.
