National Tennis Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Tennis Club is a real tennis club in Newport, Rhode Island. Its home is the reconstructed Court Tennis Building at the Newport Casino, home of the International Tennis Hall of Fame and site of the only grass-court professional tennis tournaments in the United States. It is perhaps the busiest court in the United States. The Court Tennis building was constructed as part of the original Casino complex in 1880 and in 1980 the National Tennis Court was rededicated, largely through the efforts of Clarence "Clarry" Pell, as the symbolic home of the sport in the United States. The National Tennis Club hosted the Real Tennis World Championship match in 2004, when Robert Fahey successfully defended his title against Tim Chisholm.
