And to americans, does he do US tv work? He's always on bbc when there's athletics.

He's basically unknown here.
Like most US runners, they're hot every 4 years... then they disappear completely after they retire. In fact, these US athletes are probably best known in Europe than here.
People only remember iconic stars: Owens, Lewis, Moses, Flo-Jo, etc.
Michael Johnson never reached that status.

FINALLY he gets a cheap point on a good first serve

I'm liking this from Murray so far, he's actually managing to dictate play at times.
