and the results won't be much different.
I'm sure this will be pathetic, but I'm an adult New Kids on the Block fan. I saw an interview with Joey McIntyre last fall where he got asked what his kids were going to be for Halloween. I know who Messi is because one of Joey's kids dressed up like him.
New Kids: Joey, Donny, uh.. and the other ones.

So in your humble opinion it is the number of endorsements that determines who's the king and who's just, accidentally and at he moment, good?
Different PP, but I think the point is that endorsements increase their recognition amongst the population that doesn't follow the sport. I HATE NASCAR and golf, but I do recognize some of the faces and names from endorsements.

And right during one of the big four events of the year is the most likely time that people are going to recognize the names. If you were to ask in February or October, I bet you would get FAR fewer people recognizing the names.

OP here....this isn't about Americans not recognizing any of these names. In all likelihood these answers would likely be similar if the participants came from every corner of the world. But again, let's please not discuss anything just yet. Let people vote.
Who made you boss?

Your king just got dethroned by barely "just good" Djokovic on his clay court: 7-5, 6-3, 6-1.

All. I'm guessing the "don't knows" aren't posting.
