The six-time tennis major winner and former world number one will represent both partners in online poker games.

Becker will represent the brands while playing online, acting as official ambassador for the upcoming WSOP Super Circuit Online Series poker tournaments.

Becker said: “I am thrilled to work with GGPoker and King’s and am looking forward to competing with players around the world on the very best poker platform.

“With the WSOP Super Circuit Online Series just around the corner, I’m hoping to add a WSOP Circuit ring to my Grand Slam wins.”

Jean-Christophe Antoine, Head of GGPoker, said: “The addition of both a sporting great like Boris and a respected poker brand like King’s to the GGPoker roster means we continue to go from strength to strength.

“Everyone is well aware of what a fierce competitor Boris is on the court, and I expect to see the same spirit when he hits the tables.”
