The United States Tennis Association (USTA) is facing a large compensation pay-out after a New York court ruled today that it bears most of the blame for Eugenie Bouchard's fall at the 2015 US Open.
The Canadian star sued the organisers of the grand slam tournament after she slipped on a recently cleaned tiled floor in the trainers' room.
Having reached the tournament's fourth round, the 23-year-old was forced to withdraw with a concussion and then missed the rest of the 2015 season.
