Nadal Loses Charity Poker Match to Vanessa Selbst

The king of clay is not the king of poker--yet.

Rafael Nadal dropped his heads-up Texas Hold 'em charity competition with Vanessa Selbst on Friday in Monte-Carlo.

When asked what he thought he needed to improve after the game Nadal didn't pull any punches. “Almost everything,” he said.

Nadal had success at the poker table in December, when he beat Daniel Negreanu and soccer star Ronaldo at a charity event, but Selbst, who is the highest-earning female poker player of all-time, had too much game for the Spaniard on Friday.

Here's some tweets and photos from the event:


Note Rafa's small stack at this point...


Rafa: How about some big sunglasses, a ballcap, a glass of scotch and a cigar? Might help your look...

Rematch!
