USTA statement on Bouchard allegation it destroyed evidence
The USTA is confident that it preserved all documents, footage and other
materials requested by Mr. Morelli at the time he advised us of Ms.
Bouchard's claim. Other than that, the USTA followed its standard retention policies, which make it impossible to accommodate an
additional request that came more than 14 months after the original notice.
The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is a 43 acre facility
with numerous cameras throughout the site. Although there are no cameras in the women's locker room, the USTA did preserve all footage
that it reasonably believed could be relevant to her claim and in accordance with her counsel's preservation request.
