Creative art installations by Laurent Perbos place tennis courts in unusual locations and unique environments that normally are not associated with the game of tennis.
Tennis Court in Dubai
Another extreme location for a tennis court is the helipad of Burj Al Arab sailboat hotel in Dubai, 211 meters above the ground.

Some are stupid (in water) and others are dangerous (amidst stairs).

@Ambuj Saxena I do not believe the tennis court on the stairs it meant to be played on, but to show that enjoyment can be had anywhere.

For dubai u need a lot of (tennis) balls and i see the court almost useless as they should have considered at least havin’ 10 meter more behind the back lines, othewise you play with the fear of falling on those metal grids.

wow…extreme tennis for sure!
they’ll all need an ambulance nearby
the orange one in the water looks fun – although seeing as these are all so dangerous – i wouldn’t put it past them to have piranhas in the water lol
to up the “extreme” factor.

The Dubai one was a publicity thing for Nike wasn’t it ?
They also had ..I believe Tiger Woods up there playing golf.
It’s a helipad usually

Obviously not practical, but I suppose fun installation art…although the shuttlecocks at the Nelson Adkins Museum in KC are lame.

Makes the high acts that I did in the circus, even the ones with NO NET, look like child’s play. Now on the other hand, I might be able to play tennis with someone and actually hold my own, if they got the end with the STEPS!LOL!
