I know this isn't relevant to BE's Australia Lifestyle and Culture forum but I just wanted to share these images with anyone who is interested. As part of the recent Dubai tennis tournament they put a tennis court on the helipad of the Burj al Arab hotel in Dubai and Agassi and Federer hit a few for the cameras of the world.

How many people down on the beach got thumped by a falling ball - "no you can't have your ball back!"

Yeah they showed it on British Eurosport a number of times. Federer is scared of heights and was very nervous just going up in the lift on the side of the building. Eventually they thumped a couple of balls over the edge and Agassi could see them floating in the sea. I think they both earn enough to not have to worry about 'please mister (or sheikh or Abdul in this case) can I have my ball back'.

Theres people out in the reserve tennis courts just over my back fence still playing!! Havn't these people got anything better to do on such a hot night Its a nightmare trying to kip with that racket going on

They just found the ball that Agassi hit from the Burj helipad.

Sorry they are disturbing your sleep but just a thought - if they weren't tennissing they might be hooning, drinking, smoking, popping, defacing and all the other 'ings'.

(Council bye-laws usually state the latest lights out time for tennis courts).
