Tasmanian Real Tennis star takes back title

I am thrilled to announce Tasmanian Real Tennis player Rob Fahey has successfully reclaimed his World Champion title at the Queens Club in London.

Dubbed the “Federer” of Real Tennis, the Tasmanian expat beat USA’s Camden Riverve - 19 years his junior - in the best of 13 sets.

Camden took the title from Fahey two years ago, but the underdog fought back with the tough win coming down to the last set.

I know I speak for all proud Tasmanians in congratulating Rob on his win.
