Epic Real Tennis Rallies (Rests) Compilation

Real Tennis, often called "Court Tennnis" or the "Game of Kings" is the original racquet sport from which modern day tennis is derived. The game is still played enthusiastically on 43 or so remaining courts worldwide. The compilation is from Day 1 of the 2016 World Championship at the Newport tennis club - with challenger Camden Riviere taking on defending champion Rob Fahey

I thank 2 of These People are Lying for leading me to discover the existence of this sport

Look like when you are a kid and you invent a game in the basemen where everything is not symetrical...

Strange, I never knew of this game before today as Lindybeige has made a video about the history of real Tennis that was fascinating.

i used this video in my High School class about the French Revolution. Since we were talking about the French Revolution and the "Tennis Court Oath" i wanted them to know what sort of tennis court it was and how it was played.

I wonder if the announcer ever had that kale salad.

real tennis looks so so easy, but as a squash player i know that watching a sport and playing it are galaxies apart! would love a chance on a real tennis court to give the game a try, looks super fun

I HAVE DISCOVERED TODAY (2022) THE REAL TENNIS!! I have readed the story of Ron Fahey in the Daily mail in Spain (I am spanish) and I wish I could play REAL tennis some day!

Hear me out. Florescent painted lines, walls, net. ball. Black light. Bring this game into the 1980's

The pandemic quarantine led me to discover sports unseen and unknown to Americans, such as Pesäpallo and Sepak Takraw, and there is video for anything on YouTube. I recently saw this game played by two of the characters on the TV show "Billions", and remembered I had seen it briefly on a couple of other occasions, so I delved a bit, and here I am. I wonder how much experience playing handball and racquetball would help, but a close look at the racquets suggests that solid hits come with seasoning. Interesting to watch, and that an older player is world champion. And the court somehow reminds me of baseball in Fenway Park.

I looked for an "ordinary" tennis court in Manchester. I saw one indicated in the map downtown. It was strange because I knew the area was just streets and asphalt and buildings with no open space four any court. It turned out it was a "real tennis" court.

Yesterday I found out this existed. The Sport of Kings

[troynov]

I remember them playing this in the Sherlock Holmes movie The Seven-Per-Cent Solution

[vladimirryabtsev]

What a crazy field! You are officially allowed to use features?

[brandonneilsta.teresa]

This was tennis before the modern lawn tennis.

[gregi]

it's a pity that royal Tennis isn't more popular - it's much richer in variants than the game we know today...

The next time someone gives you that Gandhi quote, send them this video.

[jasonlighton]

this may sound stupid, but is it normal for the players to not be on a symmetrical court? One side has an outcropping close to where they serve from but the other side does not have it leaving more space for that player to cover?

[karepanman]

At 4:13, why didn't he leave the hazard chase?

[johnweerden]

Why not just aim for the nets in the side?
