  • Day 2 of the Real Tennis 2018 World Championship will possibly go down as one of the best days of tennis ever witnessed. After Camden Riviere took the edge after day 1 of the 2018 world championship, a comeback was required from Rob Fahey in order to keep the match alive.... what you see next will blow the mind!

      Hitting specific parts of the court gives you points. Hitting the net or out of bounds looses you the serve and point. Letting the ball bounce multiple times doesn't give points, instead it creates a "chase", after two chases players swap sides and then they basically play a "mini-game" for each chase. Wherever the chase occurred (say 6 yards from the back wall) the new server now has to get a double bounce further back then that point (1-5 yards from the back wall). If it's further you win a point, if it's not the other player gets a point.

    Not only do you have to be an athlete it seems you need to know trigonometry and geometry and the theory of angles!

      Matty Ronaldson - "ooh that's close," indeed it was! And great reactions from Camden to hit a winner from it!

    how you call these real tennis when the limits os this are so unnatural, this wasn't the first

      Because this is what the sport of Tennis actually is. Modern tennis isn't Tennis, rather it's a different sport Raqquetes (itself a kind of Prison handball game), modified to be playable on a lawn. It was called Lawn Tennis, probably to make it sound more prestigious. It was popularised and developed by the British army officers due to the fact that they could more easily play this whever they were stationed.
      What makes this "natural" is that thats just what noble courtyards tended to be like, with pavillions and other random features, which were all pre-existing, and then got incorporated into the rules , as there was no standardisation throughout most of history.

      It’s “real” as in royal. It is a wild game to watch as a common “lawn” tennis player. So much going on here! I was fortunate to see the game played in Hobart, Tasmania several years ago….quite a thrill!
