    The strange thing is this is the landing page for their Adword campaign. Wonder how the adword team approved this at first place.

    I don't see a TOS violation!? Is that adsense on the website?
    Google cannot review each adsense publisher every day.
    There are many violators out there....here's one example: cheapcomputersandparts.com

    Well it is fully hidden in IE!
    In FF & Opera you'll see only the headline and rest of the 720 X 90 banner is hidden. So no clue for the visitors to know them as ads.

    True but this is a ADWORD landing page. I beleive they check the landing page for every adword campaign.

    Indeed, they are!
    Right click (FF) on ads and select This Frame -> Show Only This Frame.
    What you get now?

    Forget the ads. I wonder how they can possibly convert on tennis keywords...
