Brazilian footballing legend Ronaldo and multiple tennis Grand Slam-winner Rafa Nadal have scheduled a special heads-up match in London on 6 November.

The Duel, won't be the first time the two PokerStars ambassadors have met on the felt, with Nadal winning in the European Poker Tour Prague Charity Challenge sit-and-go, which also featured Daniel Negreanu.

“It was my first live poker tournament when I last played against Ronaldo and one year later I’m more confident with my skill level,” said Nadal. “I really enjoy playing poker and the challenge of learning as quickly as possible, so I can’t wait to get back into training on my game and to play against Ronaldo.”

The former Brazil striker added, “I challenged Rafa to a rematch after finding out he was preparing for another live poker game. The last time we played together Rafa won the match and it was a lot of fun. This time it will be different, though, because I have been improving on my own poker strategy and will be more prepared.”
