Does any casual sports fan know who is the new #1 this week? I feel like everyone knew the big 3 and now nobody knows wtf an Alcatraz or a tyrolean doobs or a “german” Sasha is.

no idea. only tennis stuff i hear is whats poasted here.
the "casual sports fan" who isnt a gambler probably knows a lot less about the sports they arent really into compared to in the past.
back in the day people would read a newspaper's entire sports section and watch sportscenter so theyd hear about tennis players and events. i bet most people now would struggle to even name the four "slams"
very sad. good point that the "casual sports fan" prob doesnt even exist anymore. i guess it's part of the overall phenomenon of there not being a unified culture anymore in this country. sports fans fans were all unified reading the sports section and watching SC; not it's fragmented just like everything else in amerikkka.
btw, wonder if most people could name the four golf slams either

cr just another example of the fragmenting of are "culture"
as for golf its more likely but maybe they forget the pga.
golfmos even get confused about the whole pga championship, pga of america, pga tour thing. its way worse since liv came along and the media started calling the tour "the pga"
