In preparation for the Dubai Duty Free Men's Open, tennis legend, Andre Agassi and the world No. 1, Roger Federer, couldn't resist the temptation to have a friendly knock about on the world's highest tennis court, the helipad of Burj Al Arab, the world's most luxurious hotel.

Both players are in Dubai to compete in the US$1 million Dubai Duty Free Men's Open, which is the first round of the two-week Dubai Tennis Championships.

The world's most luxurious hotel has its very own helipad 200m above ground, but it appears unlikely any helicopters will be landing

That is because Roger Federer is having a warm-up session before taking part at the Dubai Championships - but who is he practising with?
