US Open adds a day
New York: The U.S. Open tennis tournament is moving the women's final to Sunday and men's final to Monday in 2013, building in a day of rest ahead of each title match for the first time. The USTA, which runs the Grand Slam event played in New York, announced the changes Friday -- but only for next year.
A decision about 2014 and beyond probably will come after the 2013 tournament.
