At school (a few years back), my daughter's class was asked who the #1 male tennis player was. Total silence. And then who won RG that year. Total silence. My daughter was the only one who knew the answers. She got a lollipop for her pain

Most Americans I know know Fed's name though. They may not have seen him play but they know who he is.
