Okay, I do not suffer from a fear of heights, but playing tennis on the Dubai Tower (Burj Dubai) would give me the willies.



(By the way, would not the wind currents at that altitude make it nearly impossible to play?)

Judging by the windsock in the photo, there is hardly any wind at all.

A decent player with a good cut-serve could set a record for aces (or induce a suicide!)

One person appears to be floating in air off on the right side of the picture. I guess he's the one that chases down the balls.

Hate to say this but, you better have a lot of balls to play there.

I’m thinking this one was a set up for a photo shoot.

You took the words right out of my mouth... My stomach is in knots just looking at it.

I'm not sure, but I would definitely slip on the vomit.
