NEW YORK — Canadian 25th seed Eugenie Bouchard has withdrawn from the U.S. Open doubles and mixed doubles events after falling in the locker room and sustaining a head injury, tournament officials said on Saturday.

No decision has been made yet on whether the 21-year-old will have to also withdraw from the singles competition.

"The medical staff has recommended that Ms. Bouchard withdraw from today's competitions, and Ms. Bouchard is following that advice," tournament director David Brewer said in a statement.

"No determination about competing in the singles competition has been made at this time.

"Ms Bouchard will continue with the medical evaluation and treatment for the remainder of the day."
