WHAT DOES COURT TENNIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

court tennis

Real tennis

Real tennis – one of several games sometimes called "the sport of kings" – is the original racquet sport from which the modern game of lawn tennis, is descended. It is also known as court tennis in the United States, formerly royal tennis in England and Australia but now real tennis, and courte-paume in France. The term real was first used by journalists in the early 20th century as a retronym to distinguish the ancient game from modern lawn tennis. Players of real tennis often call the game tennis, while continuing to refer to the more widely played derivative as lawn tennis. Real tennis is still played on about 43 surviving courts in the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, and France. Despite a documented history of courts existing in the German states from the 17th century, the sport evidently died out there during or after the World War II reconstruction. The sport is supported and governed by various organizations around the world.
