Real Tennis 2020 - World Championship Final Eliminator - Day 2 Highlights (Chapman / Riviere)
I hope you enjoy the hand picked best bits of the second day of the World Championship Eliminator held earlier this year at the Boston Tennis and Racquets club, featuring home favourite and previous champion Camden Riviere and World Number 3 Chris Chapman from Royal Melbourne.
For the uninitiated, the eliminator is contested over a best of 13 sets format with up to 3 days of play - Camden Riviere goes into Day 2 with a 4 sets to love lead over Chris Chapman, therefore needing 3 more sets to qualify for the World Championships - what would happen next? will Chris get off the mark and force the match into a third day?

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 footage is taken from Day 2 of the 2016 World Championship, where Rob - the defending world champion needed to put his mark on a match which was rapidly slipping away from him...

Have the court filled with water, and the players riding horses. THAT would be "Real Tennis".

Just learned about this sport. Now that's REAL tennis.
I hate real tennis as a fake tennis fan.😆😆😆
This is me playing tennis at my local, the potholes force you to react 😁
Why is there a random angled wall in one side of the court? wtf lmao
What a shit game. You see in 00:40 that the guy is constantly aiming on outstretched corner, while the other person doesn't have such corner on his side of field. Or look at 4:20 to see it more clearly.
Clearly the rallies are out of order, the score jumped back and forth
More like unreal tennis
why does this game look like it was invented by me and my friends in my sunroom when we were 15
Yesterday I found out this existed. The Sport of Kings
wtf is this? Tennis + Squash? I mean it could look like a good sport but what's with the uneven wall? Even the slope at the top is only on the middle and one side. Even the person standing at the entrance doesn't a door or glass panel. If this is experimental i think there is alot more polishing to do with the court design.
the asymmetry of the court is part of what makes the game so interesting
Like, why is there a corner there?
note too that this kind of ... "place" is still existing in the south west of France and Spain ( or south america i am quite sure ( like Jai alai)) but we practice a sport called pelote and this place is called a " trinquet" :)
.... note that , comparing dates, Lawn tennis allready raised in UK ( the outdoor " tenez" ?? )but was still a young sport. then it could be the reason why they called it " real tennis " in the US ?? :)
Of what i know, this " real tennis" is "jeu de Paume" and was introduced in the US a the early XXth or end of the XIXth ?? ( at a time Paris was changing a lot, turning to " city of lights") when a rich american helped some frenchies to move their club of " jeu de paume" .from one place to another. today remains this club in Paris (16). :)
" jeu de paume " 😁 many players still playing in that kind of place (for so long) ... mainly with no net across : " trinquet" 😄
Fake tennis is a better name
?? it is " jeu de paume " where people were saying " tenez "( hold it) before to serve. now you know that " tennis " come from " tenez " then : tennis come from fake tennis ??? 🤡
@@antoinev9733 hold this little muffin 🤡🤡🤡
@@allthesame3856 "tennis" please ;)
The queen of racquet sports is lawn tennis while the real tennis we see here is nothing more than an ugly ancestor, dynamic exciting but lacking the grace and splendour …
Way more fun than tennis
Better than pickleball
This game shall become instantly popular if the governing body allows the introduction of modern tennis racket and ball to the game.
5:18 The shot that makes the metallic sound - what was that? Also at 5:47 - this also made a strange sound and a bad bounce. Are there targets to shoot for?
yes it is. it is called "The grille"
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.
Jeu de Paume. But that game was played with the hands, not rackets, as far as I know.
Retarded. Wall aren't even and each side has diff contours??? Don't you see an unfair advantage? Funny people
What a crazy field! You are officially allowed to use features?
I could swear I saw this on TV when I was a kid in the 1970s. I can't say if it was on regularly. But I think more than a couple of times. Maybe it was something covered by "Wide World of Sports"
Do these players make a living doing this and how?
Poor people don't play this game. And by poor I mean "in danger of running out of money somewhere within the next fifteen generations". If your financial situation is that insecure, you're not going to bother with this game. For starters, you wouldn't be allowed to enter the grounds of the estate unless you were the gardener or the gamekeeper.
It seems incredibly unfair for one side to have that corner wall for the guy to attack xDDD and the two walls are not identical either
The idea is you win the serve by laying a chase (getting the ball to bounce twice on the serving side) and then you get to use that nasty corner! If you are very fast and have the right serve you can keep the good end of the court for a long time
Love and play the sport proudly
I started with reading the declaration of independence, and Wikipedia links got me here. I should get off the toilet.
And I’m on the toilet watching this now lmao. But fax this is how the toilet search rabbit hole usually goes down 😂. Even tho it wasn’t that for me today but just curious of the sport
its kind of where it belongs, it was an elitist "sport" , when it began, and it still is
This is my favorite TH-cam comment ever. Because we can all relate.
I feel like the person closes to the screen is in a disadvantage because the way the wall is on the left. That indent makes for an easy target for the opponent to just try and hit it. Notice how many times the ball goes right to there. Or is that supposed to be this way?
Yeah, there's some obscure rules deciding when they switch, with some irritating stuff in there like hitting the ball beyond a line called the "1 yard worse than last line ", which is just one of the reasons sensible people adapted the game to an actually playable game.
The other kind of tennis is incredibly boring and humdrum .... but this looks fun
Thanks to Tom Scott and the Technical Difficulties for bringing this up. I hope to see the Windy City Open, sometime. :)
Five minutes ago I had never even heard of this sport. Looks incredibly dynamic. I’m surprised it’s not more popular today. Like a mix of tennis and racquetball.
It's not popular because of the logistics, you can't build that room anywhere. That's why tennis replaced it back when it was invented, way easier, you could just play outside with no walls.
There's only 10 courts in America
@@TheJoy___ Lawn tennis is a different sport and it don't resemble with real tennis the sport which resemble it are padel,pop tennis,platform tennis unlike lawn tennis in terms of similarity pickleball and soft tennis can rival it
It's basically squash
This is SO strange... What's the idea behind playing with old gear ? Do all courts have the same form (with the pillar etc.)?
Kind of, but they are all slightly different as well, different sizes too. You can see why sensible people gave up on it in favour of actual tennis a long time ago. "Real" tennis reminds me of the "real" IRA: a bunch of entrenched fanatics holding onto something that has long become obsolete, and insisting that everybody else has got it wrong.
Seems like for lawn tennis they just simplified it a lot lol. Less lines.
Real tennis????really????no
Incredible match,but those people laughing after some rallies would make me angry.
My friend brought me to his Squash club in downtown Boston. The place was pretty vacant and my other friend and me wandered into a match. No one else watching except the officials. We both turned around and quietly showed out selves out. It was kinda creepy
lol, I love this story. For whatever reason, real tennis courts and jai-alai courts really skeeze me out. There's something unsettling about that many quietly chattering people gathered around in a very confined and reverberant space watching a gentleman's game.
800 years old. The court is designed based on the city center, city walls and the shops around it. Hence the windows and slopes around the sides. There is a service side and receiving side. So they change sides to serve. Hitting the big windows in the back is a point. Hitting the small windows in the corner is a point. The only out is the ceiling or top windows. Serves must be off the slopes.
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?
Yes. That is an intentional feature of the court.
No doubt the weirdos who play this probably watch fencing
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!
I have discovered it this year (actually, May 2024), as I am trying to discover some kind of non-olympic disciplines withing some of the olympic sports, specially in the summer. That is what I call, sport periferia. For example, take a look at what the Saudis are doing in the sport of golf, introducing the team factor; also artistic cycling, cycleball, high diving, acrovatic gymnastics, and even what countries such as Germany, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, or Sweden are doing in the sport of Handball. You guys should check that, ammong others.
this is fake tennis. impostors
this is fake tennis. impostors
This is the original variant of tennis
Why not just aim for the nets in the side?
Because most nets don’t assure a point, but get the point to be replayed often to your disadvantage or making you lose the benefit of serving
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.
Not only do you have to be an athlete it seems you need to know trigonometry and geometry and the theory of angles!
What on earth is this sport…
