Played in snow the other day but no pictures.

 

These are pretty hard to beat!

 

...and some of them need very courageous ballboys !!!


i would like to see the snow court (with snowmen playing ?!)...
the MCCC (monte carlo country club) courts are also really beautiful, between the sea and the mountains !

(even better in reality !)

...and nobody has a picture of a tennis court on the edge of a cliff ? on the top of a volcano ?...

 

you clever guy !!!

Man, the quality of the courts pictured in this thread has gone way down hill... Remember the good old days of the early posts when the courts truly were exotic and cool?

 

Put up or shut up!

 

so please remember that to us... by posting your exotic'n'cool courts !

 

Since it's a contest, what's the prize? and who are the judges?

 

This is Umag, Croatia.

 

the prize ?...
emm... you'll win all our respect
(and the whole forum is the judge !)

Nb: great courts at Umag

 

another exotic court (an underground one !)

Underground courts? That's pretty cool.

I like DorianCito's backyard court. It's definetly the most exotic.

 

i think i found it !
i guess you meant this one, right ?

 

I'm sure you guys have seen this, but here it is:

 

Winner Winner - chicken dinner...
Hand's down the most amazing court I've seen...but haven't been.

OMFG, I checked out the place because of my upcoming honeymoon and it costs $15,000 per week. That's a really cool court, but i bet i could find another carribean court that isn't quite as pricey.

 

my future home !!!
(once i am rich )

waow... well done, this court is really great... and it's in grass !
i dream to play there...

the price is pretty impressive indeed... it's better to rent it with 14 people !

guys how did you get past security and my attack dogs? I strictly informed security to keep paparrazi types off my property - someone is going to get fired.

 

I think the prize would be higher, if the court was locked inside a cage, or something.
It must be awful to pick up all the balls down there on the beach

 

sorry to say it to you so rudely but your attack dogs got easily corrupted with a yummy string of sausages !!!

... even more considering it's infested of sharks !!!
maybe this could give some clues for answering the thread "Tennis players that got lost?"

(fidji islands)

 

This is the best one yet:mrgreen:

that one's really nice...where is it located?

 

seems that its in bora bora !
http://orient-express.lbwa.verio.net/obor/

 

Yes it is and i will be playing there in about 3 months.

 

lucky guy ... you're going there for holidays ?... honey moon ?!

 

Yes, going there for Honeymoon. Although now fiance is also thinking of Fiji. That wouldn't be too bad either

 

Here is a definite frontrunner for most exotic court.

Launch the site then go to Activities/Recreation on shore and hit Explore #2.

Wow!!!! That's where i'm going for sure now. Check out the other pics as well.

 

I must have won the contest cuz everybody else gave up~~!!!

 

LOL!

Anyway, I must say I'd prefer the Fiji court if it's still in the same shape as the picture shows it. Did your fiance decide between Fiji and Bora Bora yet?

 

Well, sir, it's not because everybody gave up, but because we just don't wanna ruin your honeymoon. If somebody else won the contest you would be like: "Honey, I was so close to winning that TW contest!" throughout the whole honeymoon, and your wife would be annoyed. Just Kidding

 

Or i would be like, "Oh honey, why did we come to this wretched Fiji place with the grass court, when _______ posted a link to a much better court. We should've gone there!!!"

Fiji it is. I'll be sure to post some pictures of the beautiful Fijian wome...ummmm tennis courts.

 

hehe...good one! In any case, we all hope you enjoy a beautiful honeymoon

 

..who's winning...?

 

so here is granitechief's latest discovery...

eheh...
by the way, does she at least play tennis ?!

ummm if they are on the tennis courts... it's within the rules for winning the contest !

(maybe we should make a poll !)

 

its not about you. its about the court.

 

i'm sure the double bagel at the sunset on a grass court in the fidji islands is going to be so much romantic...

i wish you a good honeymoon !

 

I disagree, it's about ME and then it's about the court. We have to prioritize here diegaa, you know that.

I was just trying to show everyone the surroundings, I mean that's really what makes it exotic, we all know what hardcourt and white lines look like, I hope.
