Skyscraper Tennis with Andre Agassi

Tennis PicThis is just plain nuts. Apparently on Tuesday, Andre "3000" Agassi played Roger Federer in a casual game of tennis. Nothing new, right?

The catch - they were playing on a small court suspended 692 feet in the air.

The game was set upon the helipad of Burj Al Arab, the world’s "most luxurious hotel" in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I have to wonder how many tennis balls ended up in the ocean. And I also wonder what a tennis ball's terminal velocity is, and if it could hurt someone - that would make one heck of a lawsuit ('I was impaled by a tennis ball from the sky').

For some of the amazing pictures, click here.
