HOBART REAL TENNIS CLUB The Hobart Real Tennis Club, founded in 1875, is one of the oldest sporting clubs in the southern hemisphere. It is the oldest real tennis club in Australia and one of the oldest active clubs in the real tennis world. The game was introduced into Australia by Samuel Smith Travers in 1875, when he built the first court in Hobart. Courts were later built in Melbourne, Ballarat, Sydney and Romsey, although only Hobart, Melbourne and Ballarat are still operating today. The Hobart court is substantially unaltered from its original construction, except for the installation of electric lighting last century. The historic clubhouse, which fronts Davey Street, has been progressively renovated and extended over the years, but retains its original character and charm. The club is a fine example of colonial architecture.
