User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Real Tennis predates organised Lawn Tennis by nearly 100 years.

The Real Tennis championship is not a tournament as such.in that it is held on a challenge basis.A player can challenge the reigning champion,who can decline or accept any challenge.So in 1840,there was in fact only 1 match which was won by a Frenchman,known as Clerge the Elder,who thus became World Champion.

The current world champion is Robert Fahey,an Australian,who won his 10th straight championship in Melbourne in April 2010

How should you cover the court in a tennis doubles match?

User Avatar

Asked by JillianG

Covering the court during a doubles match is very different from covering the court during a singles match. First, you have more tennis court to cover. Secondly, you have to figure out how to move around and cover the court with your doubles partner. The key is to move around the court together as a team. Maybe you play the ad (backhand) side. Your partner is pulled out wide for a forehand. You need to side shuffle along with them in their direciton because the center of the court needs to be covered. Your partner will probably hit a defensive shot. You will have to step in and recover your opponent

Do tennis players have a microphone on them while playing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. All of the sounds you hear are picked up by parabolic microphones stationed around the court, so you hear every squeak of a shoe and every grunt on a two-handed backhand shot. If the players address the umpire, they usually have to walk toward the middle of the court to be heard.

How can you get revenge from an ex because he played too many games?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The true opposite of love is indifference. Trying to get back at him directly or indirectly sends a clear message that he is still a priority in your thoughts. Game players feed off of both positive and negative attention. Don't contact him, ignore him when he contacts you, don't badmouth him or ask about him. If he tries to chat with you in public be polite but disinterested and quickly move on. Getting on with your life is the best revenge for you. Leave him to his own mistakes.
