Victorian Amateur Singles & Doubles - Fri. 6 ~ Sun. 8 September

Wednesday, 2nd Oct

This year's Victorian Amateur Singles and Doubles had a distinct non-Melbourne flavour with five of the nine players in the singles draw not being based in Melbourne with 3 Hobartians and 2 internationals. Despite a number of very closely fought matches, in the end it was not enough to change the status quo as Kieran Booth won both the singles and, with his partner Oliver Pridmore, the doubles. For Booth it was his sixth singles title and fifth doubles title, with four different partners.

WELCOME TO REAL TENNIS

Real tennis is a high strategy racket sport with a pedigree that can be traced back to the twelfth century. It is the original racket game from which are descended most modern racket games including lawn tennis (now called tennis) and squash.

Real tennis is a unique game which provides:

  • significant physical and technical challenges for all levels of player
  • a demanding test of skill, agility, court craft and strategy
  • a handicapping system that allows players of varied ability, age and experience to compete on equal terms.

Real tennis is played by sports enthusiasts of all ages and levels. Around the world you might call the game different things – ‘real’ tennis in Australia and Britain, ‘court’ tennis in the US, and ‘jeu de paume’ in France – to players, it is simply ‘tennis’.
