その町では初の高層にある室内テニスコート、という意味だと思いますが、このテニスコートが入っているビルはその町で最も高い建物だそうです。

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

空中テニスコート 関西大学には空中テニスコートがあります。
また、空中庭園もよく使われていますね。さらには空中風呂も。町の紹介記事や観光パンフレットでは空中テニスコートもよいのではないでしょうか。因みにドバイの世界一高いテニスコートはhighest elevated tennis courtだそうです。

elevated という言葉に、そのニュアンスをかけているのでしょうね。でもそれは他のところで出してもいいですし。

ちなみに、この室内テニスコートは町で最も高いビルの中の高層階にあるそうです。

その町で最初に建てられた室内テニスコート

この場合、elevatedは、単に「建築された」という意味で、このテニスコートが入っているビルはその町で最も高い建物であっても、特別高いところにテニスコートが仕立てられたというわけではありません。
