Muzza is 21 today

Hopefully it'll be a happy birthday against Rafa!

Those who don't frequent AM.com might like to try the birthday quiz question I put there ... it's quite revealing.

Which player can all this be said of (E&OE!)

- he is 21 today
- he is ranked 14 on his 21st birthday
- he has already been in the top 10
- he will be closer to regaining a top 10 place in the next ranking list
- he went out in R1 of the last slam he played
- he has suffered an unexpected loss to Mario Ancic recently
- but he has won two tournaments so far this year
- he has been coached by someone who later coached Alex Bogdanovic
- he has a bit of a rep for losing his cool on court that he's working on
- ... not to mention the odd dodgy haircut 
- but he is the no. 1 player in his country by quite a distance?

Well, we all know the answer to that one, but what would the answer have been had I asked exactly the same question on 8 August 2002?

The answer is Federer, I'm sure. But the question has to be praised - well worked out, steven!

No, no, Steven says number 1 in his country, not the world.

Although you'd have had to have been a psychic (with a bad grasp of tenses) if you'd asked the Bogdanovic question in 2002!
