NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. Open men’s final’s television rating is up from last year.
Novak Djokovic’s four-set win over Rafael Nadal on Monday on CBS earned an overnight rating of 2.6 and a 6 share. That’s up 18 percent from a 2.2/6 for the start of last year’s final between the same players. The end of that match moved to ESPN2 because of rain delays.
The men’s final was postponed from Sunday to Monday for the fourth straight year because of wet weather.
