Revisiting this sky-high tennis match from 2005 between stars Andre Agassi and Roger Federer.
While not a new building, in terms of extreme luxury, the Burj Al Arab has continued to stand as one of the world’s most opulent. This $3000-20,000 a night hotel in Dubai stands over 900 feet tall on an artificial island in the sea.
Acres of gold, platinum and rich upholstery not enough for you? How about a floating lily-pad tennis court, perched precariously on the side of the hotel, 689 feet in the air?
For a celebrity tennis event, the hotel’s helicopter pad was transformed into a tennis court, complete with artificial grass.
Here are some shots of tennis greats Andre Agassi and Roger Federer trying out the world’s most amazing tennis court. They bravely played the match, without a noticeable fear of heights.
No running after stray tennis balls on this court! Wow.
While watching the heights achieved by Agassi and Federer, you might feel inspired to reach new heights in your free time.
