Royal Tennis Court at Hampton Court Palace

Wallpaper Description:

The first tennis court at Hampton Court Palace was built for Cardinal Wolsey between 1526 and 1529.

Tennis and real tennis are two distinct racket sports that share some similarities but also have several differences. Real tennis, also known as court tennis or royal tennis, is an indoor racket sport that has been played since the Middle Ages. Tennis, on the other hand, is an outdoor sport that originated in England in the late 19th century.One of the main differences between the two sports is the court. Real tennis is played on an indoor court with a very different layout and dimensions than a tennis court. The real tennis court has sloping walls and a variety of obstacles that are used to create different shots and angles. Tennis courts, on the other hand, are typically flat and have a uniform surface.Another difference is the scoring system. Real tennis has a more complex scoring system than tennis, with different terms and rules for scoring points. In real tennis, the server can win the point outright by hitting a shot that lands in certain areas of the court, whereas in tennis, the server must win the point by hitting a shot that the opponent cannot return.The equipment used in each sport is also different. Real tennis rackets are heavier and more solid than tennis rackets, and the balls used in real tennis are smaller and denser.Overall, while tennis and real tennis share some similarities, they are distinct sports with different rules, equipment, and playing environments.

The current tennis court was built for Charles I in 1625. Three of its walls date from this period and the external wall to the right of the viewing gallery is one of Cardinal Wolsey's originals.
