Best Answer

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
