US Open: You can’t be too hurt with posts like this

TENNIS glamour girl Eugenie Bouchard’s lawsuit over a fall has been met with a powerful return of serve.

US OPEN authorities have addressed a lawsuit by tennis star Eugenie Bouchard over her slip-and-fall concussion in the tournament’s locker room with an unflinching return.

And part of their latest volley cuts right to the 21-year-old’s social media presence: You’re not that hurt, we see you posting on Instagram.

Bouchard sued the United States Tennis Association and the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center last month in United States District Court seeking damages for the effects of her September 4 fall — caused, she stated, by “a slippery, foreign and dangerous substance on the floor” — that forced her to withdraw from the US Open and multiple subsequent tournaments this fall.

In a 16-page rebuttal filed in the New York court, as outlined by the New York Times, the USTA ripped off the following returns:

* The room where she fell was partly lit, so the risks of a slip “were open and obvious”.

* She was violating protocol by being in the physiotherapy room in the first place, without “authorised personnel”,

* Bouchard refused medical attention on the night of her fall.

* Bouchard’s claims of lost earnings stemming from the injury are “entirely speculative and uncertain”.

* Bouchard’s recent social media activity undermines her claims of continuing impairment.

Recent Instagram posts for the young blonde show her celebrating Halloween with friends, attending sporting events, making a handful of promotional appearances and getting her driver’s licence.
