NEW YORK — Eugenie Bouchard, the runner-up at Wimbledon last year, slipped and fell in the U.S. Open locker room and sustained a head injury, forcing her to withdraw from doubles and mixed doubles on Saturday, according to tournament director David Brewer.
"The severity of the injury was, and continues to be, assessed by the on-site medical personnel," Brewer said in a statement issued by the U.S. Tennis Association.
Brewer said Bouchard was injured Friday after winning matches in singles and mixed doubles.
Medical staff "recommended" that Bouchard withdraw from both doubles events, and she "is following that advice," Brewer said, adding that it had not yet been determined whether the 25th-seeded Canadian would remain in the singles tournament.
