Maybe that's why he got McEnroe? He's volleying more. That doesn't really mean anything. Look at Federer who doesn't really have a "personality" on and off the court either.

I'll definitely be rooting for the winner of Raonic vs Federer in the semis. Both had a nice comeback win, down two sets (Raonic in the round of 16) and Federer today in the quarters. It was also a gusty win by Federer facing 3 match points! Pretty good for an old guy.

This paves the way for Federer now that he doesn't have to face Novak in the semis! I think it's going to be Federer vs Andy Murray in the finals. Hope Federer can win one last time!

The chess pieces are finally being moved into place which is so exciting to see! Cersei goes from being "shamed" in the season 5 finale to being crowned Queen in the season 6 finale. And how she did it was so badass and so Cersei. She continues to be one of my favourite characters. She got what she wanted but the price was all her children dying. Jon is a Taegaryn?! Wow! That shocked me. This changes everything now if he's able to control the dragons too. I didn't/don't read the theories, so I was unaware people already guessed this. Love the twist, though, yet part of me is a little bit sad that he's not Ned's son. Lyanna Mormont......this little girl is awesome! The actress playing her is really good. Walder Frey, Ramsey, and the High Sparrow are all dead....YES!! And just like Ramsey's death, Arya slicing Walder Frey's throat was poetic. Love Dany and Tyrion's relationship! Major kudos to David and Dan for a superb ending to a superb season! And another kudos to Miguel Sapochnik for directing these last two episodes. Hope he wins the Emmy for best director. @Vee, Michelle MacLaren is not directing WW, Patty Jenkins is.

Disappointed to see xenophobia win out in the UK. Hope you Americans will be smarter in November.

What an epic battle! There were so many cool shots. My favourite shot was also Jon facing the calvary. I also liked the Bolton shield wall, Jon's POV of him getting trampled on, Jon rising above the bodies grasping for air. Ramsey's death was very satisfying - eaten by his own dogs. Perfect. These battle scenes that GOT does is always on a movie level. It's amazing that they're able to do this for a TV show.

Interview with Liz Rose: Liz Rose On Co-Writing Taylor Swift's First Hit 'Tim McGraw' | 10 Years Of Taylor Love how she came up with the song in the 9th grade math class. You haven't listened to her old albums? You're missing out on a lot of great songs. LOL I can't believe it's been 10 years already and her career is still going strong. And I still believe her best is yet to come. That's kind of crazy considering all the success she's already had. I admit she wasn't on my radar when she first started. I liked her songs but I wasn't a huge fan or anything. I didn't become a huge fan until 2013.

Fantastic episode, especially the ending with Dany burning all those Dothraki men and then walking out of the fire. I love it whenever she spews her "Mother of Dragons" speech because she can back it up. She took over the Dothraki people in such an epic way! GOT has always been about the journey and not the destination. I suppose she should have miraculously acquired an army in season 2 and been at KL by finale? And, then what? We end the show there? I kid but, seriously, this is not network TV fantasy fantasy. Dany was a nobody woman. Every bitter step of the way was to show the battle to get to the point where she is now. Perhaps most important of all was not to get the army but to win the support and love of all those cities and people before attempting Westeros. That way, she has that power behind her, on top of her army. And we've seen how that's not easy. How does the end of season 1 dovetail into her being where she is now? The scenes consciously echoed one another but where Dany is, in terms of development, is miles and miles ahead. Yup! I agree, I don't see Dany being in the same place as season 1. She's amassing this huge army throughout her journey back to Westeros. I've been enjoying this season more because it feels like they're leading up to something big and that there's actual movement.

Done! Very happy the show is moving to the CW. Hopefully now the show will be more serialized and of course more crossovers.

I counted 8 songs. But I just prefer if artists start their tour at least 2 months after their album drops. I guess it doesn't really affect me if I don't go to those concerts. Luckily that hasn't happened to me yet. LOL

Why is her concert so soon? Her album just came out last week! I mean, give some time for your fans to memorize your songs! LOL

Yay! Jon Snow is alive! We all knew it. LOL I just want to see a reunion with Jon/Sansa/Arya/Bran - those Starks deserve something good after all they went through and what happened to their family. Can't wait to see Ramsey die - I hope it's in a spectacular manner.

I did like parts of the crossover, particularly whenever The Flash/Supergirl interacted, but The Flash's entrance and exit were pretty weak. There was no real point for having The Flash crossover. I really believe the CBS execs are holding this show back. It would be so much better if it was on the CW.

I'm on two sides here. On one side, I do think that for smaller tournaments where both men and women only have to play best of 3 sets, it should be equal pay. But for Grandslams, men have to play best of 5 sets (I personally would like to see women play 5 sets in Grandslams too; I know they can handle it). On the other side, it does make sense that whatever sex brings in the most ratings for that tournament, should get higher a pay. But ratings are dependent to what the matches are, so it would be hard to do it his way.

Yeah, because it was illegal. To me, what a person does within the legal limits of the league is fair game. If other players, or analysts think it's wrong for players to do things/use things to help then heal or win, I would just give a big middle finger to them. If it's legal, do it. How many "illegal" wins did Maria have? Less than 10 maybe? That not big of a deal (to me). I think she should give all her winnings in 2016 back - maybe spread out the money to the opponents she beat.

Most athletes take stuff to heal faster, or improve their game as long as it's within the rules/limits. If you don't think they do that, then you're really naive. What Maria did before January 1, 2016 was legit and within the rules. She didn't lose her Porshe deal yet - like Nike, they've just suspended those contracts.

Wow, I think that's ridiculous. Is that for first time offence and multiple offences? The four major sports in North America aren't even that strict.

2-4 years is so excessive. I've never heard of someone getting suspended that long for a first time drug offence.

Oh yeah, for sure, every athlete should be aware of the banned substance list for their sport, especially for someone like Maria, who I believe is the highest paid woman in sports. Also, if you've been taking something for 10 years, you don't automatically think it will be added to the banned list (and if you don't know it's also known as another name), but it's your responsibility to check. In this case, I think 6 months to a year would be a reasonable suspension. Imagine if she had won the Aussie Open - it would've been a bigger story than it already is.

It's not that big of an issue. She's been taking the substance since 2006, and it was only put on the banned substance list on January 1, 2016. She made the mistake of not checking her email that provided the new banned list. This might hurt her a tiny bit but enough to lose her endorsements, or her championships coming into question.
