I know what you are thinking, dear reader: “That real tennis workshop must be at Lord’s; how can Lord’s be an unusual place to see a cricket bat?”
Well I’m here to tell you that the real tennis area at Lord’s is a relentlessly cricket equipment free zone. Indeed, I had a great deal of trouble getting the tennis professionals even to admit that the object in question was a cricket bat. “Oh, that’s what it is, is it? Never seen one before. Don’t know how on earth that got in here. Perhaps we should call security…”

Current real tennis champion is Camden Riviere. Has to be one of the best names in sport.

I know those are “real” tennis “bats” but forgive my ignorance: are they meant to be shaped so?

More likely the air conditioning gizmo.
Good call nonetheless, Hoopy. Good user name too, especially in view of the funky tennis racket head shapes.

A misconception is that the thing that they play at Wimbledon is fake tennis. But “real” really means “royal” (think Madrid) so what they play at Wimbledon is actually commoners’ tennis.
