...this country has been forgotten. We did not bat an eye over the agony of those Sri Lankans who became refugees in their own land because of internal conflict. War has caused incredible damage to our beloved country. Our government officials, rebel leaders and politicians must work to rebuild a devastated country. Now that we have faced the tsunami together, we must understand the agony of displaced and bereaved people and of those who have lost everything but their lives.

Technically, Federer is near to perfect. Roche certainly won't have to take apart and rebuild any of the Swiss's strokes, as he did with Pat Rafter's forehand in the 1990s.
