What do you think? My vertigo kicks in simply watching this video. I wonder if world no. 1,
Federer, practices at this court while he is in Dubai... Some tips, if you happen to be in the Dubai area and decide you want to take advantage and risk your life(kidding):
1. Don't chase after runaway tennis balls or bring any of a sentimental value.
2. Prepare for a gust of wind- always have a handy parachute!
What is the most unique tennis court you have ever seen? Post a picture or let Tennis Now know about it!

Airlines over the weekend are said to have had to cancel over 17,000 flights- yikes. Check out what some of the pros have to say:

On Twitter, players are commenting on the travel situation:
Victoria Azarenka: On the train now! And this is the last part of my trip! Although had some trouble with ticket! But I can handle anything now lol
Andy Murray: Volcano news...we're all in a van driving to barcelona for training. AI snoring on back seat.
Caroline Wozniaki: It is so frustrating.. We are stuck here. No way out. All the flights to Rome, Madrid and Barcelona are fully booked till Wednesday.
Anna Keothavong of Great Britain: Seriously, when do you all think they'll open British airspace? I'm meant to be flying to Morocco this week...
I can't begin to think how many people are stranded. I hope everyone gets to their destinations safely.
