A new form of tennis

| No Comments | No TrackBacks


We may be used to sport being played in strange locations in hotels in Dubai ...... Tiger Woods teed off the helipad at the Burj al Arab on Jumeirah beach and if I remember correctly Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras played tennis on the same helipad.... but the Madinat Jumeirah have taken the pursuit to another level of absurdity.

To celebrate staging the Legends "Rock" Dubai tennis tournament, the nearby Madinat Jumeirah hotel persuaded five-time Wimbledon champion and true tennis great Bjorn Borg to have a rally across one of the hotel's waterways with tennis's "greatest entertainer" Mansour Bahrami. Not sure whether this is the most dignified game of tennis ever played by Borg.
