Ljub Job

Imagine there is a game followed by close to a billion people in the world. In some form or other, they have either played it or kept themselves informed about the game. The top stars are therefore naturally considered demi - gods.

Now imagine, in such a sport, if someone is ranked 3rd in the world, how famous he would be? He should have cult status, with a bunch of groupies and a complete entourage. No need to carry identification to tournaments, no scheduling on side courts, no worrying about having to deal with ignorant people who have no clue who you are.

Right?

Not if the two guys ahead of you are Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
