This is a shot of Andre Agassi and Roger Federer in a tennis match atop the Burj Al Arab hotel, prior to the Dubai Men's Open. Pretty cool shot, IMHO.

"oh, that's a long lob.. gotta chase.. AHHHHHH"

[Egon]

You have been banished to the game grid.

Lot of money went into that structure that could have fed the Dubai poor.

[Disambiguator]

Seems like a lot of tennis balls would end up in the surf.

[VRWCisme]

The governing body of tennis has gotten pretty serious about the penalties for out of bounds shots, haven't they?

[mnehring]

Actually Dubai and the UAE have higher standards of living than almost all of their neighbors. I attribute this to their embrace of capitalism. While it is not perfect, it is better than most in the middle east.

Looks like a challenge on XMC or whatever that Spike channel show is.

"Out of bounds"
What do you mean 'out of bounds'? AAaaaaauuuuuuuugh....

[Vision]

You would have to be a lunatic to build a court like that...oh it's at some place called the Burj Al Arab hotel...go figure.

[ElectricStrawberry]

You go get the ball.
No, I got it last time....YOU go get it.
Well YOU hit it, so YOU get it.
...but YOU missed it, so YOU get it.

Where's the damned ball-boy?

Lot of money went into that structure that could have fed the Dubai poor.

I didn't think there were any poor in Dubais.

Anyway, that looks like a photoshop fantasy.

Right you are, Ken

[RushCrush]

[SVeritas]

YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!!

[Pyro7480]

It's MXC - Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. I love that show.

[TexasCajun]

When is the Dubai Women's Open being held?

It looks legit, like they are playing on the helicopter landing pad.
