Tennis stars hit Arabian heights

WORLD No 1 Roger Federer and former No 1 Andre Agassi took tennis to new heights yesterday, ascending nearly 700ft to play a friendly match on the helipad at Dubai’s luxurious Burj Al Arab hotel.

“This was an absolutely amazing experience,” Agassi said.

“When you get over how high you are and start playing it’s an absolute joy and it was a great time. I had no issues with the height as long as I didn’t have to bungee jump off the side.”
