	Confucius at Oxford: Let's talk tennis, Real Tennis
		Real tennis is scored similar to lawn tennis, and played in a similar (albeit indoor) court.
		I can see why lawn tennis is more popular- it's a simpler, slower game which can be played outdoors, and doesn't require as much effort on the part of the spectators to follow the action, making it much friendlier to the spectators.
		However, the sheer spectacle, challenge and athleticism of real tennis, in my mind, is superior and more enjoyable.
