Sure hope they have parachutes because the momentum going after the ball might just take you right over the edge.

the ball boys would get hazardous duty pay
I saw the vid on Nation Geo channel about that Hotel, but never knew there was a court being built up there....that's a dumb idea to me, because of all the wind that would be present.

It's just the novelty of it! From a tennis standpoint I don't think it would be very practical...........

I am terrified of heights and even just watching that video bothered me. I had to hold on to my chair.

playing a match would be impractical. Any hard-hit ace is going to go off the ledge. I'm shocked at how little room there is between the baseline and the edge.

They had a golf tee up there at one time. Tiger was hitting golf balls off of it.

Reading this thread reminded me of THIS VIDEO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BbfCjrf0a8) from a while back.
I almost panic every time I watch it. Why would anyone do something that stupid?
