The World Real Tennis Doubles Championships is due to take place from 18th April to 23rd April. It will be held in Colchester at the Prested Hall. The world’s best players will vie for the championship title, with players from Australia, America and UK arriving to take up the challenge to be crowned world champions.
All set to be a highly competitive affair, it will be an exciting and thrilling spectacle. Along with it there will be many other events to enjoy over the weekend. Find on Prested’s brand new courts a Padel Tennis exhibition and the gala dinner for the championships. A raffle on the final day will be drawn for prises worth over £1,000, along with a fund raising auction.
Real Tennis is the original racquet game. Modern tennis has been derived from it. The game will see players using wooden racquets, to hit heavy cork-based balls with, played on a court, which when compared with a modern standard court, is much wider and longer.
The Prested Hall tournament is offering on the first day’s play, 200 free standing tickets to spectators, to watch the hard heavy ball be hurtled by competing players across the court, at amazing speeds, needing greater skills than probably other games.
