NEW YORK:
The US Open will revert back to a 14-day tournament from 2015 after US Tennis Association (USTA) officials reached an agreement with players on restructuring the playing schedule. The USTA announced in December it was adding an extra day in 2013 and 2014 to the last Grand Slam of the year to give players a day off between the semi-finals and final, extending the tournament to 15 days with the men’s final being played on a Monday. But the USTA announced the finals would move back to their traditional time slots from 2015, with the men’s championship on Sunday and the women’s title match on Saturday.
