USTA most liable as settlement reached in Eugenie Bouchard caseGETTY IMAGES Eugenie Bouchard slipped on a wet locker room floor at the 2015 US Open and hit the back of her head. The United States Tennis Association and Canadian player Eugenie Bouchard have reached a settlement in her liability lawsuit against the organisation. Bouchard claimed she suffered what she said was a "serious head injury" that has harmed a once-promising career. The 23-year-old Bouchard testified at the trial, telling jurors she had stepped into a training area when she lost her footing and hit the floor. She recalled being in shock as she found herself "staring at the ceiling".
