Tennis players Grigor Dimitrov and Eugenie Bouchard took part in a match with a difference when they played on a floating court off the Mexican coast.

On Monday, the pair flew over Acapulco via helicopter and were dropped off on the court to play an exhibition match in the middle of the water.

"It is pretty special and we definitely have something to talk about in the future," the Daily Mail quotes Dimitrov as saying. "It was nice to get to do this in such good weather, great city. It was very exciting!"

After the match, the pair jumped into the sea to escape from the heat.
