No it's legit. It's in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Pretty cool. Amazing what the world's oil money can get you.

No. If you like at the next photo you'll see that the court is an appendage to some tower built over/on water.

Fucking wild, but completely retarded.

it's a hotel built on a manmade island and it's gorgeous. you have to look through all of the photos. it's incredible.

no way they'll really play a match on that court but it's a great promotion.

I saw some photos of Tiger hitting some balls off of that thing. The succession of photos scrolled out and it looked pretty amazing.

. . .of course, I'd never go out there, but, that's a different story.

Commentator:Capriati is lining up to smash Serena's backhand.....she does, but Serena is quick and trying to run it down...she goes back, back...and over. Oh, my.

Afterwards, Richard Williams holds a press conference to claim a conspiracy on the part of the US Tennis Association to get rid of top ranked black players.
