How do billionaires work on their backhand? Apparently by turning a private jet into the world’s most expensive tennis net.

With a Gulfstream-sized obstacle parked behind him, this is less “quick warm-up” and more “country club, but make it aviation.” Most of us book a court, find a practice wall and hope nobody is watching. Billionaire tennis apparently involves a racquet, a few balls and several dozen million dollars’ worth of aircraft casually sitting in the background.

Does it improve the backhand? Probably not. Does it make your local tennis club suddenly feel painfully ordinary? Absolutely.

Because when you have private-jet money, even warming up for the US Open needs better scenery.
