World's Highest Tennis Court is Kind of Terrifying

The fourth tallest hotel in the world, the Burj al-Arab in Dubai, is home to the world's highest tennis court. Supposedly, no one has measured the exact height of the court, but the hotel is 1,053 feet off the ground, and the tennis court is located very close to the top. When not being used as a test to see if how quickly one will experience vertigo, and when not reminding us of a Penny Arcade miniseries, the tennis court doubles as a helipad. The pictures (the rest of which can be seen after the break) depict Andre Agassi and Roger Federer, fearless in the face of tall tennis.
