Foi no dia 22 de fevereiro de 2005 que Roger Federer e Andre Agassi protagonizaram um encontro de ténis inédito.
O confronto, que decorreu sem qualquer pontuação ou troféu, aconteceu no heliporto do luxuoso hotel Burj Al Arab, a mais de 200 metros acima do nível do mar, de modo a promover o torneio Dubai Duty Free Championships.
Na altura do encontro, que durou cerca de 20 minutos, o norte-americano e antigo número um mundial revelou à ATP Tour: “Isto é uma experiência única. Quando conseguimos esquecer a altura e começamos a jogar é uma sensação incrível, foi um momento excelente.” Acrescentando: “Não tive problemas com a altura, desde que não tivesse que fazer bungee jumping.”
