While her body language screamed discomfort Tuesday, when the main topic of discussion was Bouchard's ongoing lawsuit against the U.S. Open rather than her first-round loss, her words were measured. When she was at her peak, and a seeded player, an early major loss by Bouchard was rather newsworthy. Lawsuit had 'no impact' on treatment: USTAWidmaier added that the lawsuit "had no impact on how Genie was treated at the U.S. Open in any manner." Bouchard's coach, Nick Saviano, was asked whether her ability to play tennis Tuesday had been affected at all by any possible distractions created by the lawsuit. 1 Serena Williams had few problems defeating Ekaterina Makarova 6-3, 6-3 to advance to the second round.
