Claire Fahey is an extraordinary trailblazer in the world of real tennis and rackets. With over 40 Open singles titles, six Grand Slam completions, and a record seven Ladies World Championships, her impact on the sport is really unique. In 2017, she became the first player—male or female—to achieve the remarkable feat of winning all four singles Opens, all four Doubles Opens, and both the Ladies singles and doubles World Championships in a single calendar year. She is also known as the first woman to compete in three Men's Open main draws and to reach a semi-final. Currently, Claire has taken up the Head of Racquets and Games coach position and re-energized the club at The Oratory School in Berkshire, which is one of four schools in the United Kingdom with a real tennis court, and that hosts championships and international tournaments. In this episode of Martial Attitude Voice, world champion real tennis player Claire Fahey opens up about the relentless drive, pressures, and confidence that have defined her career. Claire shares how her journey has been a balance of short-term goals, intense training, and respect for the unpredictability of real tennis. From reigning titles to her preparation for the Ladies Real Tennis World Championships in 2025, she reveals her relationship with pressure and how embracing it has become both a responsibility and honour. Dive into a compelling conversation about resilience, mental strength, and the intricate dynamics of a life dedicated to high-performance sport, where every challenge on the court reflects lessons in life beyond it.If you are visually impaired or blind, or if you know someone who is, and would like to take part to the series of Martial Attitude Voice podcast interviews exploring touch, confidence and blindness or if you would like to join in the Martial Attitude Training workshops now running in London every Sunday, please do keep in touch via Instagram or according to your communication preferences, all available  HERE.     Sincerely, Mathias Alberton Founder CEO at Martial Attitude C.I.C.

Today's episode guest is John Colin Lumley, a British real tennis powerhouse born on August 7, 1992. Currently ranked number two in the world, John was practically raised on the court in a family of champions, with his father a two-time Australian Open winner and his mother a six-time Ladies Real Tennis World Champion. Now the assistant professional at the Racquet Club of Philadelphia, John faced off against Camden Riviere in a thrilling 2023 World Championship bid at the Westwood Country Club in Virginia. Join us as we explore his journey, his intense World Championship challenge, and his relentless pursuit of greatness in 2024. Speaking with John, we explore the mental tools and techniques essential for high-stakes performance. For instance, he shares how music keeps him in the right mindset during matches and how self-talk—both positive and instructional—helps maintain high energy on the court. He discusses his reliance on a "goldfish mentality" to quickly let go of mistakes, enabling him to stay focused and optimistic after setbacks. Further, we also had the possibility to unpack the concept of success, victory, and mastery which are often misunderstood as a single idea, rather than unique pursuits. Get insights into the nuanced psychological aspects that drive an athlete to grow beyond traditional markers of success, aiming for long-lasting greatness.If you are visually impaired or blind, or if you know someone who is, and would like to take part to the series of Martial Attitude Voice podcast interviews exploring touch, confidence and blindness or if you would like to join in the Martial Attitude Training workshops now running in London every Sunday, please do keep in touch via Instagram or according to your communication preferences, all available  HERE.     Sincerely, Mathias Alberton Founder CEO at Martial Attitude C.I.C.

Camden Riviere, born in 1987, is a left-handed American Real Tennis player and current world champion. He first claimed the world title in 2016 and has since regained it twice, most recently in 2022. Camden, who started playing at age 5, has been ranked world number one since 2013, winning multiple international titles. In 2017, the South Carolina General Assembly honoured Camden for his 2016 World Championship victory, celebrating his outstanding achievements in Real Tennis. He is also known for his legendary 2017 World Doubles Championship, where he and his partner made a stunning comeback, winning five consecutive sets to clinch the title.In this episode of Martial Attitude Voice, Camden reveals to us the long journey that he undertook to become World Champion, but most importantly to be World Champion for all these years, and what it entailed for his physical and psychological preparation. The task is now to become the Champion of himself, and to work on reinforcing the strongest of motivations he could possibly have ever imagined to need.

Slowing everything down in Real Tennis is essential because of the small margin of error. And when you start making mistakes, the most important thing to do is to go against your instinct and wind down the game, not to allow to spiral down endlessly into even more mistakes. Jon Dawes is now Head Professional at Hatfield House Real Tennis Club, and as a younger player won the Under 18 British Open. In this episode of Martial Attitude Voice dedicated once more to the world of Real Tennis, he shares his career's insights behind the reality of training in a sport where everyone can be a worthy opponent, because of the handicap system and the peculiarities of each Real Tennis court which might provide the upper hand against you.

Members of The Queen's Club have the unique opportunity to play Real Tennis on some of the country's most historic courts. The club, considered the heart of Real Tennis in the UK, features two courts housed in the oldest part of the Club, dating back to 1886.Head of Real Tennis at Queen's is Ben Ronaldson, former n. 10 in the sport, who comes from the finest family sport tradition with two champions as parents, and  who has now extensively coached beginners coming into the game as well as long-time pro across other prestigious clubs in United Kingdom for many years.In the exquisite Viewing Gallery located behind the baseline in rows one and two of the Centre Court North Stand, we have spoken at length of what the sport requires out of its players both physically and psychologically.Champions seem to be crafted out of a special mould of discipline and talent, and you might be surprise that for as different as they might be as individual athletes enriched with their own personalities, they seem to be all primed not to see defeat, but only opportunities.  If you are visually impaired or blind, or if you know someone who is, and would like to take part to the series of Martial Attitude Voice podcast interviews exploring touch, confidence and blindness or if you would like to join in the Martial Attitude Training workshops now running in London every Sunday, please do keep in touch, via Instagram or according to your communication preferences, all available HERE.

Played in less than 50 places in the entire World, Real Tennis is very different from Lawn Tennis not just because it is the original "true" thing born many centuries ago and played by figures like Henry VIII. Real Tennis is played in an asymmetrical court, which many unusual features could make someone think about squash to a certain extent, and with hand made balls which are pretty unpredictable in behaviour and not replicable on large scale. Josh Smith is Head Professional at the exclusive Holyport Real Tennis Club, in Berkshire,  built in 1889 by renowned court builder Joseph Bickley. His expertise as a coach and international ranking player is at the core of this interview dwelling in the multifaceted characteristics of the sport, and it helps identify the sport psychology aspects which might more affect the players.In his opinion, to excel at Real Tennis there is a need for specific "sport intelligence" and for a "short-memory" attitude to never look back at the past points, but only focus in the present moment of the game. Easier said than done, in this interview, we try to understand more about what tennis is Real Tennis and what its players are made of.

Newer tennis fans may be unfamiliar with the story of Rebecca Marino. Her return to the sport after retiring at the age of 22 was unexpected, yet certainly inspiring to many, especially after her very public declarations about her struggles living with depression. The timing of her visit to the Ready Play Tennis Podcast is  serendipitous in light of the renewed focus on mental health in the sport. Rebecca talks about her choice of pro-tennis over a full college scholarship, her early career success including playing the biggest court in the world against than #4 Venus Williams and her own rise to #38 in the world. She shares her experience living with depression that led to her retirement from tennis, and offers some insights and perspective to support Naomi Osaka in her current journey. The guys ask about her goals for the 2021 season and beyond, and get into the ever popular 'Changeover' game... it turns out Rebecca has her own little game she plays on court during her match changeovers. Get to know a little bit more about this reemerging Canadian tennis star now veteran with wonderful personality and renewed appreciation for her sport.

It's safe to say that Leylah Annie Fernandez has transitioned from rising Canadian tennis star to international tennis star and boy is her star as bold and bright as ever!  With her win in Monterrey a couple of weeks ago, not only did she win her first WTA tour singles title but she became the first Canadian in 18 months, on both tours, to clinch one.  For this reason, Jason and Aldwin were excited to welcome and have some friendly girl chat with this homegrown heroine! From her mental mind-frame in Monterrey to those quirky on-court "Leylah-isms" this mature 18 year old phenom shares all that it took to get to her maiden trophy and let's the boys in on a couple of insider strategies that might help improve their rec games (wannabe net-rushers and lefties, it's a must listen!) Finally, Leylah let's those gorgeous curls loose with the duo's fun and fast question game "The Changover."  So, if you've ever wondered what her fave Filipino food is or what her weirdest thought on-court has been, hit that download button now! Thank you Leylah!  See you in the Top 10 and can't wait to see you at the CGO!      

The guys welcome Christian Harrison to The Ready Play Tennis Podcast. While Christian caught fire on court with his semi-final run at the Delray Beach event, he also got flack for declining to wear a mask during a post-match interview.  Christian shares his side of that story, as well as his journey on tour. From managing countless injuries and undergoing eight different surgeries, to his renewed optimism  now being injury free, and his on-court sibling rivalry growing up with brother and fellow ATP player Ryan Harrison. He reveals a few surprises in the 'Changeover' segment, including the diva whose tunes he belts at karaoke, and the tennis neighbour who has a piece of Jason's heart.

After a slew of podcasts about structuring, estate planning, investment themes and politics, I thought it would be fun to dive into a sport with a long, regal. and unusual history- COURT TENNIS (or "Real Tennis"). Descended from handball, and equal parts tennis (players face each other unlike squash and racquetball), platform tennis (where the walls are part of the court), the sport has all sorts of peculiar rules. It has strange looking racquets, arcane rules and courts with unusual and idiosyncratic dimensions. There are less than 50 courts in the world and roughly 10,000 players. Longtime friend of the podcast, Haven Pell, joins us to talk about its interesting origins, where the sport is now and where it's going. He is part of a team that is building a new court in Washington and has written about that process in his blog, THE PUNDIFICATOR. He even shares the story of how Court Tennis gave us the Left and Right side of the aisle in American politics! https://pundificator.com/around-the-world-in-50-courts-a-brief-detour/ We cover . . . the equipment The "Off-Center" Racquet The Rules The Crazy Dimensions of the Courts The History of the Sport Some of the Best and Most Famous Players in the World And here is a little sample of some high level play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1RK9fuGZgI https://www.amazon.com/Wealth-Actually-Intelligent-Decision-Making-1-ebook/dp/B07FPQJJQT/

The first episode of 2020 is extra special, in that Letts didn't show up to record on account of having nowhere to live let alone produce a future-award-winning-podcast, so..... in his first time on the correct side of the microphone, Tucker is joined by Producer Phil to talk, as if by fate, about substitutes.   The lads get into the weeds on substitute appearances, apathetic teachers and embarrassing injuries.   The review section i also a classic "Phil" category as the topic of chat focuses on the obscure and somehow not yet extinct sport of Real Tennis.   For any future pod suggestions hit the lads up on Insta @qoqpodcast - and Letts will be back next week to sort this whole mess out.

Kate Leeming is an explorer and adventurer who has cycled a distance of more than two times around the world at the Equator. She is also a Real Tennis professional at the Royal Melbourne Tennis club who has won five Australian Open single titles in the sport. But as Kate tells us as she talks with Rupert Guinness on Crossing the Line Radio, her life of adventure and sport not been all about the highs. As with many elite athletes, there have the lows as well; and in Kate's case, from her battle with injuries and surgery, the hazards of riding in world re-known hot spots to the challenge of adapting back to life back at home after an expedition, and coping with depression.

Rafael Nadal won his 36th consecutive set of clay court tennis, dropping an average of two games per set, to claim his 11th Monte Carlo title. Afterwards, the Tennis Podcast team found themselves asking who can stop him on the surface, and how?Presenter David Law was joined by Telegraph Sport tennis correspondent Simon Briggs to work their way through the potential candidates to ‘do a Robin Soderling’ - who beat Nadal at the French Open in 2009 - and how. Is it an in-form Juan Martin Del Potro? Could Novak Djokovic return to exert his former hold over the clay court master? Maybe big John Isner? Or is it simply impossible if Nadal is fit and at his best? They also wonder whether underarm serving might be a legitimate tactic to use against Nadal, given that he operates so far back behind his baseline.The Fed Cup weekend results are discussed - Great Britain’s narrow, heartbreaking defeat to Japan, and the wins for Czech Republic and the United States to reach the final. Was there anything that the British team or captain could/should have done differently? Briggs was in Miami when the controversy over Caroline Wozniacki’s treatment by the crowd erupted, and he gives his view about the reaction of the tournament, and also tells us the story of Rob Fahey and Camden Riviere, the ‘Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal of Real Tennis’, who will face off at The Queen’s Club this week.The Tennis Podcast is produced weekly throughout the year and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments, in association with Telegraph Sport and Eurosport, and presented by Catherine Whitaker (Eurosport) and David Law (BBC 5 Live, BT Sport).
