top players at the top

these top tennis players are not afraid to be at the top! literally!

the dubai duty free men’s open is a tier ii championship of the wta circuit. of course, the world's best meet here to chill in such a great city -- and of course, the $1m-award to the winner is not negligible! and of course, rogi won the championship for the third year in a row! (in passing, let me add that he just broke pete sampras's record of 102 consecutive weeks as the world's #1, so now he's third in the record holders' list, just behind jimmy connors (160 weeks) and ivan lendl (157 weeks)).

anyway, mytili sent me these pictures of federer and agassi having a fun game in the world's highest tennis court -- on the heliport of the world's most luxurious hotel in dubai. aren't these pix insane???!?
