What is real tennis?

‘Real Tennis’ (also known as ‘Royal Tennis’) is a unique, ancient and special racquet sport played in Australia, England, France, Scotland and USA. In Australia there are courts in Ballarat, Hobart, Melbourne, and Romsey – and we think it’s high time Sydney had it’s own court. It’s a cross between lawn tennis, squash, and chess.
