TORONTO -- The Team Europe juggernaut rolls on at the World Cup of Hockey, which sets up a must-win situation for Team USA on Tuesday against host Canada.Team Europe, lightly regarded to start the tournament, moved to 2-0 on Monday, thanks to Leon Draisaitls breakaway winner that gave the team a 3-2 victory 2:06 into overtime.Coupled with Europes stunning 3-0 victory over the United States on Saturday in the teams first game of the tournament, Mondays win puts Europe in excellent position to move to the semifinals while forcing the United States to beat Canada on Tuesday (8 p.m., ESPN) to keep their hopes of advancing alive.The two teams with the highest point totals through three preliminary-round games in each of the tournaments two four-team groups move on to a one-game semifinal. The winners of those games meet in the best-of-three finals.Team Europe, perhaps a little less engaged than it was against the favored Americans in their first game, allowed a sloppy, undisciplined Czech team to hang around Monday afternoon, and it nearly cost them.The Czechs, now 0-1-1 after being thumped 6-0 by Canada in their tournament opener, wasted a sparkling effort by Petr Mrazek, who stopped 38 of 41 shots, including a penalty shot by European captain Anze Kopitar early in the second period. Mrazek was forced into acrobatic save after acrobatic save, thanks to a rash of Czech penalties. In all, the Czechs took six minor penalties plus a penalty shot infraction for handling the puck in the crease. They were guilty of multiple turnovers and missed assignments in their zone.Still, the Czechs righted the ship in the third period by launching 13 shots at Team Europe goalie Jaroslav Halak, who was strong for the second game in a row for the Europeans. Twice the Czechs came back from one-goal deficits to force extra time, then they had three shots on goal in the extra session.Three stars1. Petr Mrazek, G, Czech Republic: This game could have been 6-2 for Team Europe, were it not for the play of Mrazek, who covered up a host of his teams ills. They should be buying him a big downtown Toronto dinner for at least giving them a chance in this one.2. Mats Zuccarello, W, Europe: The New York Rangers winger scored Team Europes second goal as Mrazek misplayed a shot off his catching hand. Then Zuccarello spotted Draisaitl breaking free through the neutral zone and hit him with a perfect pass on the winner.3. Zdeno Chara, D, Europe: There was consternation about the play of the Boston Bruins captain in the pre-tournament, but he has been solid through two games for the surprising Europeans and scored the teams first goal against the Czechs. His continued strong play and leadership will be key to keeping the magical run going at the World Cup of Hockey. Royals Jerseys China .

LONDON -- Serena Williams insisted she was not focused on No. 22.Said she wouldnt discuss it.Kept coming close without quite getting it.Now she finally has it. And so she can flaunt it.Williams lifted both arms overhead and raised two fingers on each hand right there on Centre Court to show off the magic number after winning her record-tying 22nd Grand Slam title by beating Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-3 in the Wimbledon final on Saturday.Definitely had some sleepless nights, if Im just honest, with a lot of stuff, Williams said. My goal is to win always at least a Slam a year. It was getting down to the pressure.She pulled even with Steffi Graf for the most major championships in the Open era, which began in 1968. Now Williams stands behind only Margaret Courts all-time mark of 24.This was Williams seventh singles trophy at the All England Club -- only Martina Navratilova, with nine, has more in the Open era -- and second in a row. The victory at Wimbledon a year ago raised her Grand Slam count to 21, where it remained until Saturday.Its been incredibly difficult not to think about it. I had a couple of tries this year, said Williams, who went back on court a few hours later to win the doubles title with older sister Venus. But it makes the victory even sweeter to know how hard I worked for it.There was a stunning loss to Roberta Vinci in the U.S. Open semifinals in September, ending Williams bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam. Then losses in finals to Kerber at the Australian Open, and to Garbine Muguruza at the French Open.Time heals, said Williams coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. By losing, you realize things.In the rematch against the fourth-seeded Kerber -- the first time in a decade two women met to decide multiple major titles in a single season -- the No. 1-ranked Williams came through. This goes alongside six championships at the U.S. Open, six at the Australian Open and three at the French Open.The 34-year-old American did it, as she often does, with nearly impeccable serving. She slammed 13 aces. She won 38 of 43 first-serve points. She faced just one break point -- at 3-all in the second set, representing Kerbers only real opening -- and shut the door emphatically with aces at 117 mph and 124 mph.There was more that Williams did welll, though.dddddddddddd. Much more. Facing the left-handed Kerbers reactive, counter-punching style, Williams dictated exchanges and compiled a 39-12 edge in winners.Williams hammered second serves that floated in at 75 mph, breaking once in each set. She volleyed well, too, winning the point on 16 of 22 trips to the net, including a tap-in on match point. Soon, she was wrapping Kerber in a warm embrace, then holding up those fingers to symbolize 22.I was trying everything, but she deserved it today. She really played an unbelievable match, said Kerber, who hadnt appeared in a major final until beating Williams in Melbourne. I think we both (played) on a really high level.Kerber, a German who knows Graf well, defeated Venus in the semifinals and hadnt dropped a set until Saturday. But she could not keep up with the trophy on the line, although it was a high-quality final that was tighter than the scoreline might indicate.Played a good match, Kerber said. That makes it a little easier for me.Later Saturday, Williams earned a second piece of hardware when she and Venus defeated Timea Babos and Yaroslava Shvedova 6-3, 6-4 for their sixth doubles trophy at Wimbledon and 14th from all majors.In singles, Williams got better as the tournament went along, taking the last 12 sets she played after dropping a tiebreaker to open her second-round match against Christina McHale. After that set, Williams smashed her racket and flung it away, drawing a $10,000 fine.There had been some thought that Williams was really stung by her loss to Vinci in New York, that it was too big a disappointment to push aside and lingered, somehow, when she followed with the setbacks against Kerber and Muguruza.If anything, I was able to show resilience that, no, thats not going to shake me, youre not going to break me, Williams said, its going to make me stronger.So, Williams was asked Saturday, is she already thinking about No. 25, to surpass Court?Oh, God, no, Williams said. One thing I learned about last year is to enjoy the moment. Im definitely going to enjoy this.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
