OFF-COURT High Five: Players Take Leap of Faith on Sydney Tower

Spanish stars JUAN CARLOS FERRERO and TOMMY ROBREDO prepared for their first round encounters at the Medibank International in Sydney in a unique way, by going to the top of the Sydney Tower and experiencing the 'Skywalk', over 250 meters above ground. The players wore special suits and harnesses to ensure full safety atop the tower and were able to get a bird's eye view of the sites of Sydney.

The Skywalk is the second tallest free standing structure in the southern hemisphere. "I really think sydney a beautiful city and it's amazing to be able to see it from this height. As players we travel so much but it's great to be able to experience things like this. Luckily I am not scared of heights though," said Robredo. The players were also accompanied by GUILLERMO GARCIA-LOPEZ, STEFAN KOUBEK and WTA player Anastasia Myskina.
