Diversity

When is a helipad not a helipad? When it's being used as a golf green or, in these pictures, a tennis court. According to Snopes, this was February 2005, and tennis pros Roger Federer and Andre Agassi were in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for the ATP's Dubai Duty Free Men's Open, a $1 million International Series Gold event. While in town, they took part in a
publicity stunt (worth a visit for the piccies!), engaging in a friendly exhibition tennis match on the grass helipad atop the luxurious Burj Al Arab hotel.
