If you were given $1,000,000 to play a REAL, COMPETITIVE match on this court… would you do it??

It would take so many balls to play there , literally and figuratively

Having grown up watching YuGiOh anime duels, this whole scenario makes total sense to me.

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.

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.

The ball boy has a life or death situation here

I am genuinely baffled how much of a business genius Federer is. The helicopter shots definitely made the footage that much better.

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.

I think i remember seing this even before i was interested in tennis. Thank you cult tennis for making the most interesting videos, i never miss a video of yours. Keep up the good work ❤️🔥

That awkward moment when the “Worlds deadliest tennis court” has recorded 0 deaths….😂

I remember this happening after the '05 Aus Open. Was insane to see it!

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

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

But there is a safety net around the boarder. And you never got to the part about someone dying.

This is a great channel. I don’t even watch tennis, but the backstories are well told and well-produced. 👏🏽

There're Lots Of Crazy Things In Dubai Which Exist For No Reason

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

1:15 glad to see Cities: Skylines being used more and more as a modeling program 😁

We need you man! I enjoy watching your videos so much. Hope you come back. Editing is really on point and the content is so fascinating and amusing. Thanks for your effort!

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.

Great video man! I really love how well-edited, and well-made your videos are!

"The stands are too empty, fill them" Homie got rid of the stands entirely lmao

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)

Is the the north to west facing tennis court idea because of the sun rise/fall

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 😂

i fucking love this channel never played tennis never watched a match of tennis but your videos are making me a total fan planning on taking my nephew out to try the sport!

Trust me none of them had height phobia. If you truly had height phobia there's not enough money in the world to make you go up there, let alone play

All your videos are really amazing and educating, keep up the good work man....

Incredible video, I remember watching this when I was 15. Wild.

I don't know shit about tennis but I'm on a KZfaq tennis binge...help!

I love your video essays, man!

Just seeing the images made me nervous. I can't event imagine playing on such a court.

I don't have a fear of heights, but it would take a lot of convincing to get me up there without some sort of harness.

You make the best content every single time😘🔥🔥

Your animations are so clean. Incredible well made video. Must have taken forever!

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.

New videos please if you’re up to it. One of the best channels out there. I’d love to see breakdowns of the Australian open

Your videos are sick. Sickly good

You're the GOAT of tennis chanels in KZfaq. I really enjoy your videos

Is this why Federer rarely play in Acapulco?

I've played on this very court....in VR. One of the more memorable VR experiences I've had.

well done man! keep it up

im not interested in tennis, but i can assure you you're an amazing content creator and the ad you made is something i've never seen before on youtube, and been here for 10 years everyday

The video editing was nearer the gods, no mortal may approach.

Thx for your videos! In terms of Nebula, I've tried it before (some KZfaqr 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! ;)

Love the content!

Hi, amazing video! How do you create these videos? Where do you get the stock footage? Thanks and keep going ☺️ 💪

Just watching them play at that elevation without a proper fence is making my feet sweat...

I will never forget this match for some reason. I will be on my deathbed thinking of Fed and Agassi on the helipad

Proud to say, been here since the very 1st video, very interesting and fun content

Love the videos ❤️

If they asked Medvedev to play on this court he would have died

Hey, it would be nice if you could do a video on IPTL. That was a precursor to the laver cup and ran into financial issues. It would be nice to see what really happened there and why wasn't it as successful.

Great video!!

Omg you entered the nebula world? That’s so amazing with the other incredible creators

So was this done during AA’s speed experience and did he line ‘em up to conquer his fear of heights?

Come on Cult, I am anxiously waiting on a new upload! 😩

whooooow man how do edit like that? This is amazing! May I ask which software do you use?

your videos are sooooo good

The editing is the best I've seen. And the information flow 👌

Cult tennis delivers again!!

As usual, banger from cult tennis

Cult Tennis is such a goated channel, it’s so interesting.

Please make a video about peng shuai. It is the most important news in tennis and sport today and I worry it isn’t making enough of a splash.

The area around the tennis court is actually pretty big. A lot less dangerous than it looks.

As much as I am a fan of tennis, the editing that goes into these tennis videos is remarkable

Just joined Curiosity Stream, thanks for the info!

Please do a video on the injury-stricken career of Juan Martin Del Potro. It would be really interesting!

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.

The way Agassi holds his racquet when they get on the elevator is a whole vibe.

Quality video as always

Most underrated youtuber ever

Real question: Where is Peng Shuai?

Amazing video. Count me as new fan of this channel.

love your vids

Yup, this was definitely pretty cool as a Dubaiyyan.

Amazing video. I started following you ever since your blue clay video expecting it to reach a million views soon and you didn't disappoint 😊 I just saw a video about James Blake from a channel called Baseline Tennis which was also top quality content. Hope you guys can somehow produce a video together, I sincerely believe it would Make Tennis Great Again 😆

great video!!!

7:02 "they weren't afraid to get too close." Shoing Agassi on his belly. lol

Actually I believe Monica Seles played on a “way more close to deadly” tennis court in comparison.

There’s clearly a safety net around the perimeter

You made Nubula? That's amazing.

glad youre on nebula

I would say being underneath it is more dangerous when you get hit by a tennis ball from a skyscraper.

Andre Agassi "When you get over how high you are and start playing" He was lit and high his whole career. 😂

This is really good content.

Another great vid

There’s very clearly a safety net in all the footage and photos… It’s even highlighted in the photos you use in this video that you edited

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.

I do remember seeing this and your right it was probably the first viral tennis video that I remember and still remember to tjis daya

I’ve seen pictures of that match for over a decade and always assumed it was photoshopped 😂 that’s wild

Imagine falling from the platform because your eyes are on the flying ball and didn't notice where your foot headed.

"With no fencing or safety boundaries." Meanwhile video of court with safety barriers surrounding it plays on screen.

I remember now watching this at the age of 6 on Dubai Sports (with the awkward acting scene as well). I had completely forgotten about it.

Playing on this court is on the top of my tennis bucket list along with going to Nadal’s clinic in Mallorca.

2:03 There is clearly a safety net. I would consider that a "safety boundary."

While not the same thing,Federer must have been used to heights hiking in the Swiss Alps

Great summary of a moment in recent tennis history

This Brings a Whole Nother Meaning to the Term Australian Open, French Open, American Open, DUBAI OPEN.
