Rafa Nadal via his FB:
I'm playing a new game! I'm learning to play poker and with the help of the team at PokerStars, I’ll be more competitive :) Keep you posted on how I get on http://psta.rs/PSRafa
Rafa Nadal is one of the greatest tennis players the world has ever seen; with 11 Grand Slam titles, an Olympic gold medal, countless other major ATP tournament wins, and millions of fans around the world. He’s now joined PokerStars, and will be looking to take the drive and determination he has on the tennis court with him to the poker table.
But while he may have already achieved everything in the tennis world, Rafa is yet to win a poker tournament, and is looking forward to taking on the challenge of building his skills as he competes online at PokerStars. You can follow Rafa as he takes his first steps on the journey towards becoming a winning poker player, and we’ll be keeping this page updated with his progress every step of the way.
Rafa is also asking for your help, and wants you to send a video giving him your top poker tip. The best will be shown here every week, and Rafa will award exclusive prizes to the videos he thinks give him the most useful advice. The player whose video impresses Rafa the most at the end of the contest will win a European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona prize package, including buy-in for the €5,300 Main Event (August 19-25), eight nights accommodation in a 4-star hotel and €1,500 for expenses. The winner will also receive a chipset signed by Rafa, as will five runners-up! Everyone who submits a suitable video will also receive a $22 MicroMillions Main Event tourney ticket.
