Federer and Agassi play high up the Burj Al Arab

Dubai has thrown some publicity stunts in its time, but perhaps the best of all took place in 2005 when Andre Agassi took on Roger Federer in a tennis match that took place on the hotel's helipad - 200 metres above ground level.

We've uncovered this video of the event - a fun and spectacular reminder of Dubai's headiest days, as well as a testament to one of the world's most iconic buildings.

Enjoy!
