Below are the lists of real tennis world champions. ==Men's singles== Men's singles in "real" tennis is the oldest world championship in sports. It predates the use of the term "real tennis," as the sport was simply "tennis" until lawn tennis gained popularity. Except in cases where the champion has retired, the championship has always been on a challenge basis — the champion retains the title until losing an official challenge or retiring. Originally, the champion had the right to accept or reject a challenge, usually depending upon the prize money put up by the challenger's sponsor. Several years could thus go by between challenge matches. Today, however, the title must be defended every even-numbered year. The top four ranked players in the world (excluding the champion himself) play off for the right to challenge. The champion and challenger then play a match of up to 13 sets over multiple days. In theory this is the only match the champion has to play in the two years since winning the last one. The most recent men's world championship match was held in 2015 at The Royal Melbourne Tennis Club, where Robert Fahey defended his title against challenger Camden Riviere. * 1740 Clergé, The Elder * 1765 Raymond Mason * 1785 Darion Dyson * 1816 Marchisio * 1819 Philip Cox * 1829 Edmund Barre * 1862, 1871 Edmund Thompkins * 1871 George Lambert * 1885, 1890 Tom Pettitt * 1890 Charles Saunders * 1895, 1898, 1904 Peter Latham * 1905, 1906 Cecil Fairs * 1907 Peter Latham * 1908, 1910 Cecil Fairs * 1912 Fred Covey * 1914 Jay Gould II * 1916, 1922, 1923, 1927 Fred Covey * 1928, 1930, 1937, 1948, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1952 Pierre Etchebaster * 1955 Jim Dear * 1957 Albert "Jack" Johnson * 1959, 1966, 1968 Northrup R.
