Bouchard told jurors, according to the New York Post. She hit her head in the fall, suffering a concussion and pulling out of the tournament. The USTA has argued that Bouchard, who had played a late mixed doubles match, should have known that the room would be being cleaned at 11 pm, when her fall occurred. Bouchard, questioned by her own lawyer, said there was nothing in the players' handbook in 2015 stating a closing time for the locker room facilities. The jury of four women and three men selected on Tuesday has heard testimony from David Brewer, tournament director of the US Open, and from women who worked as locker room staff.
