Two of the world's leading tennis players, Nadal and Serena Williams, took to a custom-made court to try their luck on a more challenging surface in the first ever game of tennis on water.
"I love playing on all surfaces, but this was different and playing against Serena made it even more special," Nadal said. "Playing a game on water was a first for me, and I also liked the setting here in Miami overlooking the ocean since I love the sea."
The event took place Monday atop Miami's new Gansevoort South Hotel overlooking South Beach on its first day of business.
