...familiar as Federer was to tennis fans at that point, he had never displayed a component of his character: It was the first time we had seen his "back-alley" side, as a fighter. And that's a quality he's called on repeatedly in the past year. After that loss, Federer got off the canvas. He pushed Nadal again in a great Australian Open final this year. He won the French Open.

"The President of the United States is supposed to lead the free world, not follow it," South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham said on Sunday. So why has Europe, so often cast as the more timid side of the transatlantic partnership, responded more vigorously this time?
