Martina Navratilova shakes hands with Sophie Morrill on the Blue court
The club will feature on BBC One next Monday!
Martina Navratilova’s recent trip to CURTC will appear towards the end of the new BBC documentary ‘Just call me Martina’ on BBC1 on Monday 4 July at 10.45pm, after the news. Sophie Morrill makes an appearance and represents the Club and Real Tennis perfectly.
I had the opportunity to see the documentary at the advance press screening and I found it fascinating. I would highly recommend it to you all.
This is a great opportunity to promote Real Tennis to your friends, so please let them know about it as well.

Cambridge are 2016 National League Div 1 Champions. Congrats Ed & Jamie and thanks Darren & Rob for some great tennis! Many thanks to Jimmy Campbell, Rob Shenkman and Ed Hyde for taking turns behind the mike and to Paul Brown without whom none of this would be possible.

Please come along and support Ed and Jamie as they take on Manchester in the Division 1, National League Final. Read More
The Hyde’s Court was nice and bright but Canford was even brighter with an interesting mix of natural and artificial (sodium, I think) light. Well that’s my excuse for even more photos than usual and a ‘movie’ (after the photos). You can find it all HERE

It’s quite a way and the ‘end of half term’ weekend is probably not the best one to choose but one of the more characterful Tennis Court awaits. It’s had a varied life including a tank repair depot during WW2 (the vehicle entrance is visible from the outside). But it was restored to its rightful use in the 90’s and by all accounts is thriving. A warm welcome awaits including matching cutlery…
