Finnish kasino is fun to play at. Cardalda also believes that his tennis career can clearly benefit from the new skills Nadal is achieving in poker, as he believes that both activities have many common things. In poker games, same as in tennis games, concentration plays a key role, and you also need to study your opponent to anticipate yourself to his next move. Also, both games can last for really long time, and we all know that is in these kind of long tennis games where Rafa Nadal dominates his rivals, due to his better physical and mental preparation.
