Newmarket & Suffolk Real Tennis Club

The present court was built by Sir Charles Rose, the MP for Newmarket, in 1900. One of the leading race horse owners of his time, he commissioned Joseph Bickley, the specialist builder, to construct the tennis court as an extension to his residence, Suffolk House. The result was one of the finest and most modern courts of its time. The court was opened in June 1901 with a match between resident professional and world champion, Peter Latham and 'Punch' Fairs, who suceeded Latham as world champion.
