Nah, it was Agassi who was scared of heights. It's pretty clear from the video. He had to lie down, just to look over the edge. And look how casually Federer strolls to the edge, while Agassi shuffled tentatively. But I wouldn't say either of them had a phobia. Just a perfectly sane caution about falling to their death.
For anyone wondering, the terminal velocity of a tennis ball (the maximum speed at which it can consistently fall through the air) seems to be about 75-100 km/h, which is much slower than a serve or even light groundstroke, so the balls falling off the platform wouldn't hurt anyone or break/dent anything.
Judge and amateur tennis enthusiast Malcolm Lee died of a heart attack while playing tennis at a Birmingham club. Birmingham club tennis fatalities: 1 Dubai sky-court fatalities:0 Looks like there's a new deadlist court in town.
Of course it has 0 deaths, no one plays there, just the exhibition match between Agassi and Federer. And by the why the court has no security nets The wind moves Federer's hair, the windy conditions up there surely makes it difficult to play ua-cam.com/video/xQvespILoyQ/v-deo.html

7:46 This fits well with your video about Federers business decisions. Seems like he always had a feeling for how to make something even more successful
There’s another promo video by Barilla where Roger plays with some fans across buildings. He surprised both of them by going to their hometown in Italy and having a friendly ball exchange on rooftops of two separate buildings. Then proceeded to have lunch (pasta of course) with the two girls. This was during Covid-19. Wonderful gesture by Roger.
I actually love this channel! I remember coming across many things such as this, blue courts, split surface courts and even Federer endorsement change as a kid and would always wonder why these events aren’t shined on and talked about more. And that’s what cult tennis is doing making me see myself as apart of this channel and it’s videos making me so excited every time there is an upload
I have been watching you from the start and I just wanted to say thanks for all the content you provide me with. Being a junior professional myself, I love watching your videos when I have the spare time, and your videos convey the amount of love and respect you have for the game. Thanks once again
Oh I heard about this match when I was a kid, but had no idea about the background story behind it or how much of an effect it had on the sport! Very interesting. Also now you have a legendary choice of soundtracks in the background in addition to the legendary editing. Wow! P.S: loved that little bit of Arabic translation in the beginning 😂
So there is actually a plaque on the wall of one of the rooms inside of the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton, England (where Wimbledon qualifying takes place - this room is actually used as the drug testing room for the qualifying tournament) which has the full story of this event. If I remember correctly the whole stunt was sponsored by Emirates and they were actually only on the airpad for about 14 minutes. I'll try and take a picture at next years quallies.
This makes sense. If they were not playing an actual game, just lobbing a few balls at each other for the photos and videos, the danger is much lover as they won't be running backward over the edge while focusing on the ball.
@@57thorns also, no person who isn't literally insane would actually want to try a proper match on these courts lmfao even if you stuck at the baseline, near the corners of the court are the edges of the literal platform, so there's no space to run on
North south allows fairness in outdoor conditions while east and west can put a specific end of the court at an unfair advantage due to how strong the sun is in a particular time of day.
i remember seeing this when i was little! ofcourse i had no idea about the background events that lead to it, just that it was something i saw on the news while my grandma fretted over her "precious son" federer possibly falling (she was worried for agassi too, she just adores federer a lot more :P)

That looks cool but probably really unpractical. Tennis balls falling off the court, not to mention just the stronger winds there might interfeer with the ball a lot.
Thx for your videos! In terms of Nebula, I've tried it before (some UA-camr mentioned it as well) and what I didn't like was that it didn't mark videos I've already watched on it, in any way and neither gave me a section of related videos to watch... Seems like the creators of the platform didn't think it through very well, in terms of usability for consumers. I mean think about it, after watching one video, wouldn't you be more likely to pick from 3 or more of other similar videos next to it or would you click back and start browsing all over again, which option is easier? So because of this psychological barrier at taking more brain power and effort to use - I don't see Nebula thrive until they at least integrate these two very easy to implement features, that are on almost every platform, app and website, and for this very reason - keep the users use their platform. Unless of course, hosting and bandwidth costs are a factor, than it perfectly makes sense why Nebula wouldn't want people to watch more of their videos, at a cost of losing consumers as a side effect. Anyway I hope you know someone that could look into it, if Nebula's success matters. Thanks and good luck! ;)
I'm comming over to drop a like I forgot the first time I watched it. What a contentent on this channel! You are doing an amazing job. I have a suggestion for the topic of one of your next videos. Novak Đoković is leading a major change when it comes to proffesional tennis organizational structures with the establishment of PTPA. I think this is quite in tune with what you are covering here. A lot of tennis fans now close to nothing about how the tour is organized and how unfair the revenue distribution happen to be. I believe you have the capacity to cover this in dept, based on what you have done so far. Best of luk and I'm looking forward to more videos from you.
They could have at least set up a safety net and a collection funnel beneath the net around the tennis court in order to retrieve balls and keep players from falling to their deaths.
Remember vividly that I was so worried that either Federer or Agassi would fell off the platform while chasing the tennis ball. Thank God both were alright.

So no one died? Really fucking annoying clickbait, you literally say "this exact scenario actually played out" just as the video shows an animated player falling to their death. Are you kidding?
Thanks for combining the stupid vapidity of everything associated with Dubai with the stupid vapidity of professional sport. A match made in heaven, or as close as you can get.
If you were given $1,000,000 to play a REAL, COMPETITIVE match on this court… would you do it??

i would but my tactic is to be as close to the net as possible. lol
Yes
I would just play with the most top spin possible and i would win ez

I am genuinely baffled how much of a business genius Federer is. The helicopter shots definitely made the footage that much better.
The ball boy has a life or death situation here
Judge and amateur tennis enthusiast Malcolm Lee died of a heart attack while playing tennis at a Birmingham club.
Birmingham club tennis fatalities: 1
Dubai sky-court fatalities:0
Looks like there's a new deadlist court in town.
Cult Tennis is just immortalising the stories buried deep in the tennis graveyard.
That awkward moment when the “Worlds deadliest tennis court” has recorded 0 deaths….😂
yeah cause of the massive net around it and the fact that if you fall over you are far from the edge
seriously, I just scrolled down to see if anybody even mentioned that he covered NOTHING about people dying there. wtf.. lame content.
Maybe “most dangerous” is what he should’ve used. It can’t be deadly if no one has died there ..
Of course it has 0 deaths, no one plays there, just the exhibition match between Agassi and Federer.
And by the why the court has no security nets
The wind moves Federer's hair, the windy conditions up there surely makes it difficult to play
