Pospisil's hot shot helps break Opelka's serve in San Fran

The Canadian is into the quarterfinals of the ATP Challenger in S

Published Feb 10, 2017

At the $100,000 ATP Challenger in San Francisco, Vasek Pospisil needed to dig deep to break the serve of 6"11" Reilly Opelka in the final game. Luckily, the Canadian’s scrambling effort would get him into the quarterfinals with a 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-3 win.

Pospisil is recovering from a shocking Davis Cup ending in Ottawa last weekend (where his teammate Denis Shapovalov was disqualified for hitting the umpire, sending Great Britain into the quarters).

Next, Pospisil will face yet another rising young American talent in top seeded Frances Tiafoe.
