Eugenie Bouchard says she feels relieved and happy about a settlement in her liability lawsuit against the United States Tennis Association.
The Canadian tennis player made the remark to reporters on Friday after the deal on damages was struck at a New York City court.
It came a day after a jury found the USTA mostly liable for when Bouchard slipped on a wet locker room floor at the 2015 U.S. Open and hit the back of her head.
Bouchard claimed she suffered what she said was a ``serious head injury'' that has harmed a once-promising career.
Lawyers met for several hours on Friday before reaching the settlement.
They declined to disclose the terms.
