I found this on another board. It looks CG, is it?
quote:
Dubai, UAE: World No. 1 Roger Federer and former No. 1 Andre Agassi took tennis to new heights on Tuesday, ascending nearly 700 feet (over 320 meters) to play a friendly match on the helipad at the luxurious Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai.
It is real. I saw it on the TV news last night as well.
I can't believe it, the wind factor up there is intense, I don't know how they even stand stay upright, let alone play tennis. the drop off the edge is insane, they hit a few tennis balsl over the edge and they just fall and fall and fall.
That hotel is RIDICULOUS! Forget about the freakin helipad, someone needs to get me a room in that hotel, but quick. Even what they'd consider a CHEAP room would be ok... Also, I'll need first-class return plane tickets and spending money in excess of $50,000.
But, to consider playing tennis up there.... The corners of the court come too close to the lip of the helipad, for my liking. I wouldn't want to be up there for any length of time, since heights give me the creeps...
