- Men's singles in "real" tennis is the first world championship in any sport. It predates the use of the term "real tennis," as the sport was called just "tennis" until lawn tennis gained popularity. Except in cases where the champion has retired, the championship has always been on a challenge basis — the champion retains the title until losing an official challenge or retiring. Originally, the champion had the right to accept or reject a challenge, usually depending upon the prize money put up by the challenger's sponsor. Several years could thus go by between challenge matches. The top four ranked players in the world (excluding the champion himself) playoff for the right to challenge. The champion and challenger then play a match of up to 13 sets over three days (4 sets, 4 sets and up to 5 sets on the final day). In theory, this is the only match the champion has to play in the two years since winning the last one. The most recent men's world championship match concluded on 15 September 2022. (Due to the pandemic, the 2020 challenge was postponed until 2022). (en)
- Het Wereldkampioenschap Jeu de paume werd voor het eerst gehouden in 1740, daarmee werd Jeu de paume de eerste sport met een wereldkampioenschap. De eerste editie werd gewonnen door Clergé sr. die daarmee de eerste wereldkampioen ooit werd. De regerend werelkampioen plaatst zich automatisch (behalve als hij zich terugtrekt) voor de finale. De vier hoogst geklasseerde spelers in de wereld spelen om het recht de kampioen uit te dagen. (nl)
