Davenport and Sharapova play snow tennis

Okay, if I ever get a chance to visit Dubai, I know what will be on my sightseeing list!

Lindsay Davenport and Maria Sharapova, both former world No. 1 players, had a chance to practice before their matches at this week’s Dubai Duty Free Women’s Open at Dubai’s new indoor alpine ski resort. Dubai, one of the hottest places on earth, now is home to the world’s largest indoor snow park.

The No. 3 and 4 seeds had a chance to practice on a specially designed court surrounded by mountains and snow! The Ski Dubai facility even includes a twin track bobsled run.

Be sure to check out the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour photo gallery for pictures of Lindsay Davenport and Maria Sharapova playing tennis in the snow.
