Now 23, Shelton is in the same position Alexander Zverev once was, playing for his first major championship in the U.S. Open final. When Zverev lost that night — after he was so painfully close to winning — it took six more years before he finally broke through.

American tennis fans don’t want to wait any longer.

Watch Shelton vs. Zverev in the U.S. Open Men’s Final LIVE starting at 2:00 p.m. on Channel 2.

Shelton can end his country’s drought and win the first Grand Slam title by an American man since Andy Roddick in 2003 if he beats the top-seeded Zverev on Sunday.

Shelton is 0-5 against Zverev, winning just one set. But the No. 8 seed said he has never been more confident in his tennis, and he already took out the defending champion when he beat Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set quarterfinal that ended at 3:33 a.m., the latest finish in U.S. Open history.

Should he beat Zverev, he would become the first man to beat the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds en route to the U.S. Open title since 1975.

But Zverev, after a slow start to his first Grand Slam tournament as the No. 1 seed, has saved his best tennis for the late stages of the event. Forced to play five-setters in each of the first two rounds, he hasn’t dropped a set since.

The German won the French Open in June and bids to become the first player to win his first two major titles in the same year since Jannik Sinner in 2024. He hoped the initial title would come at the U.S. Open — and still can’t believe it didn’t — but he blew a two-set lead against Dominic Thiem in 2020, becoming the first man to do that in the U.S. Open final since 1949.

Zverev also reached the Wimbledon final and is 24-2 in Grand Slam matches this year.

OpenAI committed $4.8 million to cover all student breakfast and lunch costs across the Effingham County School District for the 2026-27 school year. The districtwide meal program started Sept. 8.

The grant is part of an $80 million community commitment established by OpenAI under its Project Camellia initiative.

County and school leaders identified student meal costs as a direct way to support local families, prompting OpenAI to provide one year of funding.

OpenAI has been gathering feedback from residents and local organizations to determine how to allocate its community commitment.

[DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks]

Hank Evans leads community engagement for OpenAI. He explained how the company had focused its assistance efforts in the Effingham County region.

“From the beginning, we have said our $80 million community commitment should reflect the priorities of Effingham County residents,” Evans said. “We have been meeting with residents and local organizations and asking the community to weigh in on future investments. School meals emerged as one immediate way we can help families now and this $4.8 million commitment will cover student breakfast and lunches this school year while broader community input continues to shape how we direct future funding.”

School district leadership cited the financial flexibility the grant provides for local households.

Dr. Yancy J. Ford, superintendent of the Effingham County School District, praised how the funds would help students in the district.

“This generous commitment from OpenAI provides immediate, practical relief for our community,” Ford said. “Providing meals for our students allows our families extra financial flexibility while ensuring our students are nourished and ready to learn every day.”

Vickie Decker, chair of the Effingham County School District Board of Education, praised the broad community impact of the program.

“This is a wonderful gift for our entire community,” Decker said. “OpenAI’s incredible generosity brings meaningful support straight to our local families while making sure every student is cared for and ready to learn.”

District meal administrators noted the connection between nutrition and classroom focus. Jessica O’Leary, nutritional services coordinator for the school district, addressed the relief the grant offers to parents facing higher costs of living.“Hungry students can’t learn,” O’Leary said. “With daily expenses rising for so many families, knowing that their child will receive a healthy lunch gives our parents one less thing to worry about.”

In addition to funding school meals, OpenAI opened grant applications for local organizations seeking assistance and launched a public survey asking residents to rank local parks and recreation for potential investments.

OpenAI said the public survey responses and grant applications from local organizations will be used to direct future distributions from the remaining community fund.

Bogdan Alexandru Gherghevici, 27, a Romanian fugitive, was apprehended near Seattle on Sept. 4, 2026, in connection with a nationwide scheme selling fictitious farm equipment.

Gherghevici was indicted by a federal grand jury in August 2025 on 16 counts, including wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

Federal authorities alleged that between March and May 2025, Gherghevici and a co-defendant defrauded more than a dozen prospective buyers, many of them elderly, resulting in total losses exceeding $600,000.

[DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks]

Western District of Washington Magistrate Judge Brian A. Tsuchida ordered Gherghevici’s extradition back to Georgia to face trial.

Margaret E. “Meg” Heap, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Georgia, commended the multi-agency coordination required to locate the fugitive.

“We commend our law enforcement partners no matter where they may be and the team effort across the country will now send this defendant back to answer for the conduct alleged in this case,” Heap said. “We look forward to bringing this case to a resolution and assisting the victims with closure.”

TRENDING STORIES:

Channel 2 Action News reported when Gherghevici was accused of stealing the funds for fake equipment sales, and his co-conspirator was sentenced.

While agents captured Ghergevici’s co-defendant at the time, he himself had disappeared and was considered a fugitive.

“Fleeing prosecution does not erase the harm caused to victims or stop HSI from pursuing justice,” Steven N. Schrank, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Georgia and Alabama said. “This arrest reflects the strength of our partnerships with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and law enforcement partners in Washington state.”

Gherghevici’s co-defendant, Viorel Cristea, 33, was previously sentenced in March 2026 after pleading guilty to one count of wire fraud. U.S. District Court Chief Judge R. Stan Baker ordered Cristea to serve 21 months in prison, pay $679,100 in restitution to victims and face deportation upon completion of his sentence.

Heap said the strain financial scams put on agricultural workers was an extra burden on top of the challenges Georiga’s farmers are already confronting.

“Farmers in Georgia and around our nation already face enormous challenges to provide our citizens with food and fiber,” Heap said. “Getting ripped off by unscrupulous scam artists – especially those who are illegal aliens – shouldn’t be one of those hardships.”

The law enforcement response originated in May 2025 when a victim reported suspicious activity involving a farm equipment dealer purportedly operating in Blackshear, Ga.

Investigators with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office and HSI determined the business entity was fraudulent and identified Cristea and Gherghevici as conspirators. Pierce County Sheriff Ramsey Bennett highlighted the joint law enforcement response.

“We appreciate the help of our federal partners in this prosecution,” Bennett said. “It’s refreshing to see a con artist prosecuted for stealing from hard-working Americans.”

Court records show the conspirators used false representations to persuade victims to wire money into bank accounts controlled by the defendants.

Buyers were told their machinery would be delivered within days or weeks, but sellers ceased all communication once the funds were received.

Schrank said these types of scams hurt farming communities across the nation, not just the farmers themselves.

“When hardworking farmers are targeted by scams like this, it’s not just their livelihoods that are threatened – it’s the communities and families who depend on them,” Schrank said. “HSI is committed to protecting honest people from fraudsters who prey on trust and vulnerability.”

Gherghevici will be transferred to the Southern District of Georgia, where Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ryan Bondura, Olivia Brame and L. Alexander Hamner will handle the prosecution.

The mother, Alexia Huggins, told Channel 2’s Eryn Rogers her son, Ahmari, went to football practice, and she expected him to come home safely.

Instead, she said she received a call from the school’s athletic trainer telling her there had been an incident involving her son.

“It was the trainer. She said she had Ahmari with him. That there had been a small incident. That he was OK. That he possibly had been choked, and he was unconscious,” Huggins said.

Huggins took her son to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with a concussion.

TRENDING STORIES:

She showed Channel 2 Action News a medical note that describes the injury as the result of a physical assault.

“He remembers being choked,” Huggins said.

Huggins said the incident started with an argument over cleats following football practice.

“Neck pain, head pain, just in a whole lot of pain,” she said.

Huggins gathered with family at a Gwinnett County park Saturday, calling for more answers about what happened to her son.

“My son should not be in this situation. He should’ve went to practice and came home safe. That did not happen,” she said.

Parkview’s principal sent the following letter to parents, which the district also provided to Rogers:

Dear Parkview High School Families,

I wanted to make you aware of an incident that occurred on Monday involving one of our students.

A student suffered a head injury in the locker room after football practice and was taken to the hospital for medical treatment. First and foremost, our thoughts are with the student and family, and we wish the student a full and speedy recovery.

Our School Resource Officers investigated the incident and interviewed the injured student and several other students who were in the locker room at the time. Based on the information gathered during the investigation, officers determined there is no evidence or indication of criminal intent or foul play.

Our school also conducted a separate review of the circumstances surrounding the incident. At the conclusion of that review, a student has been issued disciplinary consequences for inappropriate behavior in the locker room. Because this is a student discipline matter, we cannot provide additional details.

I am sharing this information with you because a local television station is preparing a story about the incident, and I wanted our school community to hear the facts directly from me rather than through media reports.

This incident serves as an important reminder about appropriate behavior in locker rooms and other school facilities. We have spoken with students about the dangers of horseplay and the importance of making safe choices at all times. I have also instructed our coaching staff to reinforce these expectations with student-athletes.

The safety and well-being of our students remain our top priority. We appreciate your partnership in reminding your child about the importance of respectful and responsible behavior, both during school activities and in athletic settings.

Thank you for your support and understanding. Please join us in keeping this student and family in your thoughts as he recovers.

David Smith, principal

Huggins said she questions whether the investigation fully captured what happened.

“Last time I talked to the detective, he told me he only spoke to seven students. It’s a 70-roster football team,” Huggins said.

Huggins believes some students may not be coming forward because they are afraid of retaliation.

She also questioned the school’s description of the incident as “horseplay.”

“They all use the same verbiage that the coach said, horseplay. The principal used the same verbiage,” Huggins said. “No children uses the term horseplay in 2026. You’ve been coached. You’ve been told what to say. That’s a shame.”

Huggins showed Rogers an Instagram message she said her son received from a teammate apologizing for what happened.

Another parent also contacted Channel 2 and alleged that the same student had intentionally hurt her son during practice.

Huggins said she believes earlier intervention could have prevented what happened to her son.

“So why wasn’t it prevented? Why wasn’t there consequences?” she said.

Huggins said doctors are continuing to run tests on her son.

She said she believes the school should have done more to protect him.

“I Shouldn’t have to fight for my son. They should have protected him,” Huggins said. “They should be having accountability. I shouldn’t have to fight for justice for him. It should be there. They should be doing their job.”

In his letter to parents, the Parkview principal said student safety is a top priority.

The hearing began at 9 a.m. and continued throughout the day, with attorneys for the city and Williams presenting testimony and evidence. The council’s decision came just before 9 p.m.

Robert Ashe, an attorney representing the city and acting as the prosecutor during the hearing, presented evidence alleging Williams used city purchasing cards for personal expenses.

The city said those purchases included Lyft rides, haircuts, movie tickets, clothing, clothing alterations and restaurant meals.

TRENDING STORIES:

One purchase highlighted during the hearing was a $322 Father’s Day purchase at Pandora in McDonough. The city said Williams used a city purchasing card to pay for his entire family.

Williams testified that he did not intentionally use the city’s cards for personal purchases and said many of his transactions were connected to city business.

Ashe also questioned Williams about whether he had read Stockbridge’s purchasing and ethics policy.

“So you have never read the City of Stockbridge purchasing and ethics policy? Is that your testimony?” Ashe asked.

Williams said he had not received a copy of the policy and testified that he had asked for the information he needed to know after being elected.

The city also presented evidence regarding Williams’ use of a city vehicle.

According to testimony presented during the hearing, Williams checked out a city vehicle 183 days between January and June. The city said that was all but nine days of his tenure in office during that period.

The city’s policy requires city-owned vehicles to be used only for official business or emergencies, according to the city.

The city also said Williams spent approximately $2,600 using the city’s fuel card.

The hearing also focused on text messages between Williams and an 18-year-old.

According to information presented during the hearing, some of the messages were sent around late November or Dec. 1, when Williams was still mayor-elect. The teen had turned 18 approximately two months before the Dec. 1 communication.

Another message in which the teen referred to being a distraction was sent in January, possibly after Williams had been sworn into office.

The city also presented allegations that nude photographs were exchanged.

During his testimony, Ashe questioned Williams about whether receiving nude photographs by text message was unusual or memorable.

Williams has denied wrongdoing.

Williams’ attorney, Robert Kenner, said he and the mayor were disappointed with the council’s decision.

“The mayor and I are deeply disappointed. I think that certain minds on the council were already made up,” Kenner said.

City officials held a press conference shortly after the decision was announced, saying in response, “If you already made a decision, why spend a whole day in a performance space, acting like you haven’t made a decision?”

The hearing came after weeks of legal disputes over the investigation. A retired judge previously ruled that Councilwoman LaKeisha Gantt could not participate in the proceedings after finding she had shown bias toward Williams.

Williams has the option to appeal the council’s decision; however, Kenner said he was not sure whether Williams would pursue an appeal.

The city has said a special election will be held to choose Stockbridge’s next mayor.

Williams’ removal ends his tenure after less than a year in office.

[SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

Speaking after the vote, the mayor’s attorney, Robert Kenner, said that he and the mayor “are deeply disappointed. I think that certain minds on the council were already made up.”

He said the evidence presented in the hearing was “nothing” and the council spent the time defaming Williams.

Kenner said the decision hasn’t been made whether the mayor will appeal the decision or run in the special election.

The lengthy executive session came after a hearing that started Saturday morning. It detailed the findings of an investigation into the mayor’s alleged misconduct.

The city council presented a string of explicit text messages with a high school student. Records showing Mayor Jayden Williams used the city’s purchasing card on restaurant outings, clothes and going to the movies were also presented at the hearing.

Williams answered questions about the accusations during a hearing before the city council and a judge Saturday. He faces no criminal charges, but councilmembers could vote on whether to oust the 23-year-old mayor, who took office in January.

The city accuses him of spending more than $4,000 on the city’s credit card for himself and charging more than $2,600 on the city’s fuel card for personal trips. Williams is also facing allegations of having an inappropriate relationship with an 18-year-old male high school student who sought a mentorship with the mayor.

Robert Ashe, an attorney representing the city in the proceeding, confronted Williams with the text and Instagram messages he exchanged with the teen in December, when Williams was still mayor-elect.

TRENDING STORIES:

The student congratulated the mayor on his win and expressed his interest in local government, with Williams giving him his personal cell number and texting, “Bro! I’m making you one of my mentees now.”

But the messages soon turned sexually suggestive. Williams asked the student if he had a girlfriend and whether he “ever had sexual relations with a guy.”

They also began sending photos and videos of each other using an Instagram feature that makes the images vanish after one viewing, often with responses that included hearts and drooling face emojis.

Ashe asked Williams if they included photos of himself nude, to which the mayor said, “I don’t recall.” Williams did admit the images were “explicit.” He said he also couldn’t remember if he received any nude photos of the student.

“Is getting nude photographs via text message so unremarkable to you that you don’t remember when you get them?” Ashe asked.

“It is not memorable nor abnormal for somebody my age to send – actually, at this time, I was at Clark Atlanta (University) so that’s not abnormal for someone my age,” Williams said.

At one point the text exchange, the mayor wrote in all capital letters: “THIS BETTER STAY BETWEEN US TOO.”

The student texted the mayor in January to say he did not a distraction to his job, but that they could “remain friends with benefits.”

Williams also had to answer questions about his use of city funds and whether he read the policy on using the purchasing card. The mayor said he had not.

“So you have never read the City of Stockbridge purchasing and ethics policy? Is that your testimony?” Ashe asked.

“Correct,” Williams replied.

“You’ve been in office now since January and you never bothered to read the city’s purchasing and ethics policy?” Ashe said.

“I never received a copy of it,” Williams replied.

“Did you ever ask for a copy?” Ashe asked.

“I asked for all things I should know as mayor when I first got elected,” Williams said.

Ashe read a list of charges put on the city’s purchasing card, including a $322 Father’s Day dinner with family at a McDonough restaurant, haircuts, clothes and clothing alterations, a Lyft ride, and a movie outing.

Williams said he used the card “not intentionally” for personal expenses and reimbursed the city while maintaining other charges involved his official duties.

Ashe then focused on his use of a city vehicle, saying Williams checked out a city car for 183 days between January and July and racked up $2,600 in charges on the fuel card.

The mayor’s attorney, Robert Kenner, told councilmembers that the city provided “no comprehensive formal training” for Williams, who had no experience working in local government.

“We concede that he could have asked more questions,” he said. “But there’s a difference between misunderstanding and removal from office.”

Four of the five city councilmembers could decide whether to remove him from office after the hearing. The judge earlier granted the mayor’s request to remove one councilmember from the panel, Lakeshia Grant, saying she showed bias and “animus” against the mayor.

That includes an email sent to the mayor in which she tells him, “I can be your friend or your enemy. Your choice.” The mayor also said Gantt called his grandmother, urging her to tell him to resign.
