I think Andy Murray was in the running to get this gig but lost in the semi-final.

Can I just ask why? High profile exposure to non poker players to broaden their market, beyond those who currently have the addiction. |

Can I just ask why? Attracting a broader audience --> Acquisition of less sophisticated players --> Losing liquidity = Increased Rake & Revenues |

Boris and Rafa will bring in far more new players to PokerStars than any 'Pro'.

Boris and Rafa will bring in far more new players to PokerStars than the combined efforts of 50 sponsored 'pro's'

One of the best, if not THE best signing stars have made.
A current worldwide sports star, still somewhere near his prime it doesn't get much better than that.

For someone "still somewhere near his prime" he looked pretty good at Roland Garros last month. |

Nadal is so high profile i'd imagine it will have a reasonably positive effect on the .com signups aswell.
