On the heels of Madison Keys' own name-dropping on Jeopardy!, Vasek Pospisil found himself linked to another clue on the TV gameshow—and one worth twice the winnings.

In reply, a Twitter commenter made a timely reference to Pospisil's indefatigable 33-stroke rally in a Miami Open match in March. That point climaxed with his near-desperate slap of a forehand winner in a tight loss to Marin Cilic.
Pospisil doesn't find himself in anything resembling jeopardy these days. He made the quarterfinals of Newport last week, and he's set to appear in Rogers Cup action in Toronto, in his native Canada, August 6-12.
