Great dismay

The catastrophe in Southeast Asia caused by the undersea earthquake is a big shock to me. Apart from the enormous number of casualties there are still a large number of people being missed. It is hard to imagine what the people in the affected areas as well as their relatives are going through right now. I have developed a strong relation to that area of the world in the past. This year I had the privilege of winning the Thailand Open in Bangkok as well as spending a magnificent holiday on the Maldives for the second time already, and Phuket is also a destination I have been to. I would like to give expression with all my heart to my hope that the situation in the affected areas can get back to normal as soon as possible. I wish all those suffering and left homeless to find the necessary strength to get over this dreadful situation.
