NEW YORK -- She turns her disappointment into triumph. Her grief into joy. Her rejections into approvals. If no one believes in her it does not matter. She believes in herself. Nothing stops her. No one can touch her. She is woman.So said Serena Williams via loudspeaker Monday as part of a female-power soundtrack for a runway show of her Serena Williams Signature Statement collection for HSN during New York Fashion Week.Williams interspersed the long-form poem that she wrote and recited on the soundtrack with music from women only, including her buddy Beyonces Lemonade.I wrote it right after Wimbledon and during the Olympics, and I just was in this moment of I want to empower women, she explained in a backstage interview.It was right around the time I was asked, `How do you feel about being the greatest female athlete? and I was, like, they never ask men that. I wanted to give women strength. I played it for Beyonce and she loved it.The idea, said the tennis great, was to carry that strength and unity into the clothes into her third show. The fall collection of soft faux shearlings, feminine black lace, ivories, touches of soft stretchy leather and classic wool maxi coats in gray and black was available immediately on HSN as Williams joined the see now, buy now push thats become increasingly common during Fashion Week.She paired dainty stovepipe leggings in a soft rose with long, matching vests and cardigans, a velvet and fur-trimmed dress with sexy pumps, and a black lace gown worn over high-waisted shorts. And she included knits in a Merlot and touches of fall green.The sophistication spoke to her years in fashion, along with her sister, Venus, who focuses on athleisure wear for another company. Are they competitive in fashion as well as tennis?It is very competitive spirit, but were in totally different fields, Serena smiled. Shes into more sportswear and Im into more ready-to-wear, and more sportswear, too.Her older sis was on hand front row to cheer Williams on. So how does Venus feel about some friendly sisterly competition?We give each other confidence, so if your sister likes it you know its going to be OK, Venus said. Your sister always tells you the truth. We definitely help each other out and give suggestions. And thats the way sisters should be.Williams won Wimbledon this year but lost in the semifinals at the U.S. Open. She tied with Steffi Grafs Grand Slam record of 22. She also tied Grafs record until this week as the No. 1 female player in the world for 186 weeks.Asked if getting back to No. 1 is a top priority, Williams responded: Right now Im focused on fashion and then when Im not Im focused on Grand Slams. I always love having goals. Malcolm Subban Jersey .

The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos. RALEIGH, N.C. -- Cam Ward was perfect in goal for over 61 minutes on Sunday night, and then he got some help from a guy who rarely plays in overtime.Phillip Di Giuseppe scored his first goal of the season 1:26 into the extra period, giving the Carolina Hurricanes a 1-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.Viktor Stalberg assisted on Di Giuseppes wrist shot from the right circle, which ended a three-game skid for the Canes.It felt like the (first score) would win, especially the way it unfolded, Carolina coach Bill Peters said. Wardo stood tall. But we still need to find a way to score. We need to get different results offensively.It was Carolinas sixth straight home victory and snapped a three-game skid versus Tampa Bay. The Hurricanes have won just two of their last 10 games against the Lightning.And it was Carolinas first overtime win in six tries this season.When I got sent down (to Charlotte of the AHL on Nov. 11) the team got going, and when I came back (on Nov. 27) we were still playing well, Di Giuseppe said. We havent been getting many breaks, but tonight we did and thats nice. We played hard all 60 minutes, limited them to few Grade-A chances and Wardo made the big saves when he needed to and came out with a `W.Lightning coach Jon Cooper thought the winner should have been waved off because Stalberg bumped goalie Ben Bishops stick while Di Giuseppe shot.It was 100 percent goalie interference, Cooper said.

I dont get it.Tampa Bay, without injured star Steven Stamkos, lost for the fifth time in six games. Its last regulation win was over Philadelphia on Nov. 23.Ward had 30 saves in his 25th career shutout.dddddddddddd Bishop stopped 29 shots.It was one of those games when it was only going to take one, said Ward, who in his eighth season has the longest tenure of any of the current Hurricanes. We played smart and didnt press. We didnt take too many chances and waited for our opportunities. Our penalty kill has been a difference for us all season, and we contained them tonight. At the end of the day its about winning hockey games, and this team really wants to win.The Hurricanes, who have been the NHLs best penalty killers this season, dodged a bullet late in the third period when they killed off consecutive minors, including 22 seconds of 5-on-3.Its a good feeling to be winning like this at home, alternate captain Jeff Skinner said. You want to be able to establish an identity early in the year of being a tough team to play against at home. Weve done a good job over the last couple of weeks at home. Now our job is to try and take care of things on the road.Game notes Hurricanes C Elias Lindholm (lower body) missed his second straight game, while D Klas Dahlbeck and D Ryan Murphy were healthy scratches. ...
