New York: Eugenie Bouchard and the United States Tennis Association (USTA) reached a resolution on Friday, ending Bouchard's lawsuit over the head injury she sustained from a fall at the 2015 United States Open. The terms of the settlement are sealed and confidential.

"It's been a long time, but it's something I wanted to do," Bouchard said of the lawsuit. "It's been two and a half years, so I'm happy it's over."

In a statement later on Friday, the USTA said the matter "has reached an amicable conclusion for both parties" and added, "We also wish Ms. Bouchard the best of luck moving forward."

Bouchard sued the USTA in October 2015, about six weeks after she slipped on cleaning fluid on the floor of a dimly lit trainers room at the US Open in New York. She had to withdraw from the singles, doubles and mixed doubles events, and she did not complete a match for the rest of that season.

Bouchard, 23, won the liability phase of the trial on Thursday, though the jury said that she bore 25 percent of the comparative negligence for her injury. That meant that the USTA would have had to pay Bouchard only 75 percent of whatever value the jury assigned to her damages.

"I feel vindicated that I got the verdict on Thursday," Bouchard said. "Just relief and happiness right now."

After each side's lawyers made lengthy opening arguments in the damages phase of the trial at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, proceedings were suspended for four hours as the legal teams, Bouchard and representatives from the USTA met.

Benedict Morelli, Bouchard's lawyer, initially said he was ready to put her on the stand after the hours of talks had not yielded a resolution. She testified Wednesday in the liability phase of the trial. But in the corridors of the courthouse, Morelli appeared to persuade Bouchard, who was alongside her mother, Julie Leclair, to take the deal the USTA had offered.
