    GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) – Owners of the Gainesville Juniors Volleyball Club are hoping now is their chance to become a tenant at the Alachua County Sports and Events Center as the county looks for a new operator.

    Club directors Stephanie Wyatt and Joe Deluca say this move would not only help the center with revenue, but also help them serve more families in a bigger building.

    They say they currently serve around 350 to 400 families, and want to be a positive, stabilizing force at the sports center during the transition to a new operator.

    They are willing to pour in more than $275,000 of direct revenue in one year.

    County commissioners voted unanimously to find CP Event Center Operations, L.L.C., a subsidiary of Viking Companies, in default of more than $500,000 in unpaid special assessments.

    Now, county leaders are developing a plan to run it themselves or find a new long-term operator.

    “Gives us the opportunity to bring in regional events, volleyball events, that will meet the needs of our community and all of our athletes,“ shared Club Director Stephanie Wyatt. ”But more than that, if we have more space, we can meet the needs of underserved communities or athletes and families in the community.”

    Subcontractor RADD Sports sent a letter to the county defending its role, stating it had consistently performed in good faith and covered unpaid management fees to keep the facility running.

    The current operators are only allowed to run the center through the end of September.

    “They were not willing to consider us to be part of the facility,” said Club Director Joe DeLuca. “It’s crucial for a variety of reasons: financially, the location of the facility, and as Stephanie has pointed out, the present structure we are in, our lease agreement expires in 9 months.”

    Deluca hopes this time they won’t be turned down like they have been in recent years.

    Olympian Chase Budinger Hasn’t Seen 1 NBA Player Who Can Transition to Pro Volleyball

    Former NBA player and professional beach volleyball player Chase Budinger, who competed in last year’s Summer Olympics for Team USA, had an honest response when asked whether he thought any NBA players he’s played beach volleyball with could make a transition to that sport on a professional level. “Zero,” Budinger replied. “None.

    Former NBA player and professional beach volleyball player Chase Budinger, who competed in last year’s Summer Olympics for Team USA, had an honest response when asked whether he thought any NBA players he’s played beach volleyball with could make a transition to that sport on a professional level.

    “Zero,” Budinger replied. “None. But there has been a few guys that have impressed me. Richard Jefferson, J.J. Barea, Bake Griffin, were just some of the few that have come out and played with and can compete and have fun with it, but not the level that we play at.”

    To be clear, the question posed to Budinger about a transition to the pros was regarding any basketball players he’s played volleyball with, not necessarily any NBA player in general.

    In theory, perhaps someone like 7’3″ San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama could become a pro superstar if he focused and trained for the sport.

    Budinger made the switch in 2017 after playing professional hoops for eight years (seven in the NBA). The former University of Arizona star was a phenomenal high school volleyball player, winning Volleyball Magazine’s Mizuno National Player of the Year award and winning three state titles for La Costa Canyon High School (Carlsbad, CA). He also starred in basketball and chose that path before returning to volleyball.

    He’s done quite well for himself, playing the sport at the highest international level. The 37-year-old teamed up with Miles Evans in the men’s beach volleyball tournament at the Olympics. They advanced to the knockout round after finishing third in group play and winning their “lucky losers” match.

    In the Round of 16, Budinger and Evans fell to the eventual bronze medalists, Norway’s Anders Mol and Christian Sorum.

    There’s no stopping Garston-based Watford Water Polo (WWP), who have added yet another trophy to their ever-growing list of achievements.

    The club’s U14s team travelled to Letchworth Lido last month for the annual Swim England Herts Junior Tournament.

    A heavy downpour during the opening match failed to deter WWP, who beat rivals Hitchin 7-0.

    After a 10-3 win against Northampton and an 8-0 victory against Cambridge, WWP faced Chelmsford in the final.

    The match resulted in a resounding 15-0 win for WWP, who secured the Herts trophy for the fourth year in a row.

    Luka Guzijan was voted WWP’s most valuable player for the evening, with special mention for goalie Jeremy Rotenberg who only conceded three goals in four matches.

    This isn’t WWP’s only recent success, as their Herts League team have also retained the KO Cup for the second year in a row.

    No. 8 Iga Swiatek dominated the women’s Wimbledon final on Saturday, defeating No. 13 Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win her sixth Grand Slam title in only 57 minutes.

    Wimbledon

    No. 8 Iga Swiatek dominated the women’s Wimbledon final on Saturday, defeating No. 13 Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win her sixth Grand Slam title in only 57 minutes.

    Swiatek, 24, became the first woman since 1911 to win the Wimbledon final without losing a single game.

    After upsetting Aryna Sabalenka — the top-ranked player in the world — Anisimova could not find her footing Saturday. She made 28 unforced errors in the loss, and won only 24 points compared to Swiatek’s 55.

    “It’s been an incredible fortnight for me, even though I ran out of gas a bit today,” Anisimova said during an on-court interview after the match.

    While Swiatek has been dominant on clay in her career (winning the French Open four times), she had not made it further than the quarterfinals of Wimbledon prior to this year. Swiatek’s Wimbledon title is her first Grand Slam win outside of Roland Garros since she won the U.S. Open in 2022.

    Entering the tournament ranked fourth in the WTA, Swiatek finished her Wimbledon run in dominant fashion.

    She did not lose a single game in her last three sets, and dropped only two games overall in her final two matches of the tournament. Swiatek lost only one set during the entire fortnight.

    Swiatek has now won every Grand Slam except the Australian Open.

    “Honestly, I didn’t even dream (of this), because for me, it was just, like, way too far, you know?” Swiatek said. “I feel like I’m already an experienced player after winning the Slams before, but I never really expected this one.”

    Iga Swiatek describes the feeling of winning Wimbledon

    Iga Swiatek wins Wimbledon

    The Polish star dominated the Wimbledon final on Saturday, winning 6-0, 6-0 in just 57 minutes.

    Tenth straight win for Swiatek

    She now leads 6-0, 4-0 and is closing in on the Wimbledon title.

    Swiatek takes the third game of the second set

    Swiatek is up 6-0, 3-0 in under 45 minutes. Anisimova had her chances in the most recent game, which took over seven minutes to finish. But Swiatek continues to roll.

    Swiatek wins her eighth straight game

    Swiatek is now up 2-0 in the second set. Anisimova has made 17 unforced errors so far.

    Swiatek continues to roll

    Swiatek breaks Anisimova again to take the first game of the second set. She’s up 1-0 and now will serve.

    Swiatek takes the first set 6-0

    Swiatek cruised through the first set with ease, winning 27 points compared to only 9 for Amanda Anisimova.

    This is pure dominance from Iga Swiatek

    She leads 5-0 after 21 minutes. She’ll now serve for a chance to win the first set 6-0.

    Swiatek is up 4-0

    In under 20 minutes, Swiatek has won the first four games of the Wimbledon final. Anisimova made 10 errors in that time.

    Swiatek now leads the first set 3-0

    Wow. Iga Swiatek has already won two break points and leads the first set 3-0.

    Through three games, Anisimova has eight unforced errors compared to only two for Swiatek.

    How important is the first set?

    The winner of the first set has won 16 of the last 17 women’s Wimbledon finals, per the ESPN broadcast.

    Swiatek holds serve, goes up 2-0

    Iga Swiatek has made quick work of the first two games, losing only two points to Amanda Anisimova so far.

    Swiatek wins the opening game

    Swiatek made quick work of Anisimova in the opening game, surrendering only one point before breaking Anisimova. Swiatek is now serving up 1-0 in the first set.

    Anisimova swerves to Swiatek…

    …And the Wimbledon final is underway! Swiatek has already won the first two points.

    The players have made their way onto centre court

    We’re moments away from the Wimbledon final!

    American history on the line if Anisimova wins

    If Anisimova wins today, she will become the third American woman to win a Grand Slam this year, after Madison Keys won the Australian Open and Coco Gauff won the French.

    Anisimova, at 23, is the youngest American woman to make the Wimbledon final since Serena Williams in 2004. (Williams, then 22, lost to Maria Sharapova.)

    Swiatek isn’t only good on clay

    The Associated Press

    More comfortable on grass courts than ever, Iga Swiatek played as well as she ever has on the slick surface — well, better than ever, actually — to reach her first Wimbledon final by defeating Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 at Centre Court on Thursday.

    “I never even dreamt that it’s going to be possible for me to play in the final,” said Swiatek, who has won five Grand Slam titles elsewhere and spent most of 2022, 2023 and 2024 at No. 1 in the WTA rankings.

    Good as she is on clay courts, especially, and hard courts, too, Swiatek only once had been as far as the quarterfinals at Wimbledon until this week.

    “I’m just super excited and just proud of myself,” the 24-year-old from Poland said after wrapping up the victory over Bencic in just 71 minutes. “Tennis keeps surprising me. I thought I lived through everything, even though I’m young. I thought I experienced everything on the court. But I didn’t experience playing well on grass. That’s the first time.”

    Princess of Wales to attend women’s singles final

    A big tennis fan, Kate, 42, has been a fixture in the Royal Box for many years, often attending with her husband, Prince William, and other members of the royal family.

    Last year, she attended the men’s final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.

    Swiatek dominated semis with straight set victory

    Swiatek cruised to the finals by defeating Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-0 on Thursday.

    How to bet Anisimova vs. Swiatek

    NBC Sports

    NBC Sports’ Drew Dinsick gives his favorite plays for the Iga Swiatek vs. Amanda Anisimova match in the Wimbledon women’s final, evaluating the options with Swiatek as a favorite.

    Amanda Anisimova’s path to Wimbledon finalist

    Amanda Anisimova, the 12th-ranked women’s tennis player in the world, advanced to the Wimbledon final by shocking top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals Thursday. If she defeats No. 8 Iga Swiatek on Saturday, she’ll capture her first Grand Slam title.

    The accomplishment is even more improbable knowing Anisimova temporarily left the sport to focus on her mental health just two years ago.

    “I’ve really been struggling with my mental health and burnout since the summer of 2022,” Anisimova wrote on social media on May 5, 2023. “It’s become unbearable being at tennis tournaments. At this point, my priority is my mental well-being and taking a break for some time. I’ve worked as hard as I could to push through it. I will miss being out there, and I appreciate all the continuous support.”

    Anisimova returned to competitive play at the Auckland Open in January 2024 and has been slowly but surely climbing back up the ranks since.

    BRITISH F4 ESPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP HONOURS UP FOR GRABS TONIGHT IN ...

    The final round of the 2024 British F4 Esports Championship gets underway tonight, with Graham Carroll and Henry Moore in a close battle for top honours.

    The 2024 British F4 Esports Championship title fight has been an absolute cracker so far, with Guild Academy’s Henry Moore and Scuderia Ferrari HP Esports Team’s Graham Carroll engaged in a season-long fight for top honours in the Motorsport UK-sanctioned series.

    Throughout seven double-header rounds on some of the UK’s finest tracks (plus Zandvoort!), the pair have been the class of the field, combining pace and points scoring at every opportunity.

    Carroll has the upper hand heading into the Brands Hatch GP finale, leading his rookie rival by 36 points after a consistent display in Round 7, but with 45 points for a race victory, the fight for the Drivers’ championship is still very much on.

    The Teams’ championship is also balanced on a knife edge, with Ferrari and Guild Esports coming into the last round separated by 17 points.

    A late-season resurgence for Guild’s Remy Gilbert and Leo Brown has seen Ferrari’s lead disappear, in part due to Gergo Baldi’s run of patchy results.

    Ironically, Moore’s championship lead was wiped out in Round 7 after a clash with Baldi, adding another element of drama to proceedings.

    British F4 Esports Championship Prizes

    The British F4 Esports Championship winner will be invited to the star-studded Motorsport UK’s Night of Champions to receive their official British Championship Trophy alongside other victors from the prestigious British Touring Car Championship, British GT Championship and British Rally Championship series.

    In terms of prizes, Motorsport UK has listened to team feedback from previous seasons of British F4 Esports and focused on real-world motorsport opportunities and experiences for 2024.

    As a result, the winning team will receive three entries into The Club100 Experience karting series and a 30-minute test session, with the second and third-place outfits receiving two and one entry respectively.

    The top three teams will also receive a full day of intensive single-seater simulator training with a qualified engineer at Base Performance Simulators, with four hospitality tickets to a 2025 ROKiT British F4 Championship event available to the winning squad.
