The 2024 Real Tennis British Open, branded as the Sir John Ritblat Foundation British Open for sponsorship reasons, will be the 45th edition of the British Open since it became an annual event in 1979. The men's event will be held at the Queen's Club in London between November 17–26, 2024 and is being organised by the Tennis and Rackets Association. It is the last qualifying event for the 2025 Real Tennis World Championship, with John Lumley and Nick Howell already qualified to the Eliminators.[1] The women's event was held at the Seacourt Tennis Club on Hayling Island between April 4–7, 2024. The men's draw was the fourth and final grand slam event of the year.[2] It will be the first time the event has matches scheduled on more than one court.
Incumbent World Champion Camden Riviere will return to defend his title following his sixth victory in 2023. Riviere will also defend the men's doubles draw alongside Tim Chisholm.[3] The women's singles draw was won by incumbent World Champion Claire Fahey, her twelfth British Open singles victory.[4] She also won the doubles draw with Sarah Vigrass, her ninth British Open doubles title.
