The Leamington Four.jpg

It has been suggested that Gem and Perera may no longer be regarded as lawn tennis pioneers as the game they were playing was an outdoor version of Rackets. This meaning also that their club, formed 1874, in Leamington Spa may no longer be regarded as the first lawn tennis club in the world.
