As the only active player to accomplish the career Grand Slam, Serena Williams is comfortable playing on a variety of tennis surfaces.
But on Tuesday Williams stepped away from traditional hard, grass, and clay courts to take part in the world’s first game of tennis on water.
Standing on top of a 110 foot swimming pool at the new Gansevoort South Hotel’s exclusive 22,000 square foot rooftop retreat, Serena enjoyed a friendly hit with ATP star Rafael Nadal.
It took an underwater construction crew seven days to build two invisible platforms at either end of the pool using a combination of acrylic sheets and tubes.
wow..water tennis now huh..just one question, how do you bounce the ball?
