Real tennis – one of several games sometimes called " the sport of kings " – is the original indoor racquet sport from which the modern game of lawn tennis ( usually simply called tennis ), is descended.

Real tennis players often call the game " tennis ", while continuing to refer to its more widely played offshoot as " lawn tennis ".

Real tennis is still played by enthusiasts or realists on 47 to 49 existing courts in the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, and France.

Real tennis evolved, over three centuries, from an earlier ball game played around the 12th century in France.

Real tennis spread across Europe, with the Papal Legate reporting in 1596 that there were 250 courts in Paris alone, near the peak of its popularity in France.

Real tennis played a role in the history of the French Revolution, through the Tennis Court Oath, a pledge signed by French deputies in a real tennis court, which formed a decisive early step in starting the revolution.

Real tennis courts were built in Hobart, Australia ( 1875 ) and in the United States, starting in 1876 in Boston, and in New York in 1890, and later at athletic clubs in several other cities.

Real tennis greatly influenced the game of stické, which was invented in the 19th century and combined aspects of real tennis, lawn tennis and racquets.
