great minds, banti... i was thinking Serbian royalty.
did you catch djoko's opening round match? i only saw a couple of games - his (qualifier?) opponent was playing very well i thought.
Posted by: Nelson Goodman | 02/27/2012 at 08:15 PM
I gotta go with "Service Return".
FEDAL simply does not do what Novak does.
Posted by: SE | 02/27/2012 at 08:25 PM
I'm also thinking "Sibling Rivalry", because younger brother Marko is now a presence on the Tour.
Posted by: SE | 02/27/2012 at 08:55 PM
Fair point SE, but how is that a "motivating tool." An important arrow in his quiver, no doubt, but "motivating"?
Posted by: Nelson Goodman | 02/27/2012 at 08:55 PM
Lol Nelson, Serbian royalty actually sounds possible. I just saw the highlights here.. Crisp, clean shot making from the kid, Nalbandian like! Courts do seem extremely fast.. Novak doesn't seem bothered and seems to be in great form.. Guess we'll know more after seeing Andy and Fed tomorrow, where this maybe heading.
Posted by: banti | 02/27/2012 at 09:09 PM
Think you got it with Sibling Rivalry SE.
Posted by: Nelson Goodman | 02/27/2012 at 09:09 PM
You may question its viability as an answer, Nelson, but we're talking about TP here. His entertainingly subjective, peculiar, and exaggerated "answers" in the past have certainly made many of us scratch our heads. It's a shot, I know, but its successful execution can be a psychologically-motivating tool for him, and such repeat success would certainly motivate the hell out of me in gaining a mental boost during points, games, sets.
Anyway, that aside, I've decided to go with "Sibling Rivalry".
Posted by: SE | 02/27/2012 at 09:12 PM
Yep, that's my answer and I'm sticking with it.
Posted by: SE | 02/27/2012 at 09:15 PM
Way to obvious for mr. twisted. You gota focus on the negative space, lol.
Posted by: banti | 02/27/2012 at 09:18 PM
That's what I've been telling myself, banti, but I can only spend so much time thinking about this nonsense.
Geeeeeezzz!!! LOL ;)
Posted by: SE | 02/27/2012 at 09:29 PM
I think Sibling Rivalry is the answer. Congrat. SE.
Hope you can visit his basement and get the award. Please take some pictures and post here. Thanks in advance.

For the time being is rather his sense of responsibility for brothers than rivalry!

Being part of the Serbian Revolution?
hardships they faced while growing up in that crisis struck-en nation
Posted by: kitty | 02/28/2012 at 10:48 AM
I think it is Sibling Revenge.. yeah !
Posted by: Kam | 02/28/2012 at 01:39 PM
lol
May be it is Sleep Revitalization ..of course with the help of EGG.
Posted by: AMI | 02/28/2012 at 01:41 PM
Arh I think DSG already had the same idea...sorry DSG did not really see clearly before.
Now I change to Sibling Recourse ...not original but.. yes I stick to this one.
Posted by: AMI | 02/28/2012 at 01:45 PM
Well, AMI, I think the winner is one of us. I will share the honor with you since you mentioned the egg but I must point out that you did not think to make it fit with the initials we were given. However, I am a generous soul so would like to share with you.
I am confident we thought of the correct answer.
This will be my first win
I am soooooooooooo excited.
Posted by: DSG | 02/28/2012 at 02:24 PM
TP no need for a plan B/alternative answer here, do the right thing and give her what she deserves.
Posted by: banti | 02/28/2012 at 03:00 PM
wow thanks sweet DSG. Yeah!!
Posted by: AMI | 02/28/2012 at 03:48 PM
Well done!
Posted by: Clifford | 02/28/2012 at 10:10 PM
SE's Sibling Rivalry sounds absolutely right!
I'll try Serbian Rage as Serbian Revolution has already been mentioned by Kitty and is good too
Posted by: ricky | 02/29/2012 at 12:36 AM
Ya, I'd give it to SE too -- looks like the winner. The only problem is that the adjudicator does not think like most people.
Posted by: chipnputt | 02/29/2012 at 02:25 AM
I say Serbian Republic? He's got the motivation of his country at his back. The whole country knows and supports him.
Posted by: D.O. | 02/29/2012 at 04:49 PM
Good one , SE. I think Sibling Rivalry is the correct answer.
Posted by: P | 03/01/2012 at 06:06 AM
Well, I'd give it to DSG
Posted by: DSG | 03/01/2012 at 09:25 AM
