Tennis at the Burj

Remember the Burj? Here's another picture to refresh your memory:



See the part that looks like the old Starship Enterprise, jutting out from the top? That's the helipad. But when necessary, it can be converted to other uses, such as when Roger Federer and Andre Agassi are in town:

Notice that there is no fence or barrier between them and the ground. Don't chase after those balls too far, fellas.

I'm going to see the Dubai Men's Open quarterfinals tonight and tomorrow. Please, please, please let me see Federer or Agassi...

Good question. They are caught mid-air by falcons.

Actually, at the Burj, they really do fly falcons around the building once an hour to prevent birds from shitting all over the place.
