NEW YORK (AP) -- The U.S. Open's three-day Labor Day weekend TV ratings were the best since 1994.

CBS Sports' broadcasts Saturday through Monday averaged a 2.6 fast national rating. That's 18 percent higher than last year, when CBS didn't show tennis on the Sunday because the NFL season started that day, and 4 percent higher than the three-day weekend in 1999.

Each rating point represents 1 percent of U.S. TV homes.
