The US Open Tennis Championship is the one of the greatest sporting events in our country. Tennis has been an incredibly successful and celebrated sport in our country for over a century, and the US Open is the culmination of professional tennis in America. Anybody can pick up a racquet, find a local public court or wall, and fall in love with the sport. Often times rain in New York City causes the final to be moved to a monday, which means many miss out on the incredible tennis. The US Open final should be a national holiday because families and friends can get together to and watch tennis being played on the largest stage in tennis; Arthur Ashe Stadium. Finally, making this a national holiday would grow the sport in our country exponentially.
