Racketlon is a sport in which you play your opponent at table tennis, squash, badminton & tennis. A racketlon match contains 4 sets, one in each sport. The order of the sports is table tennis, squash, badminton and tennis (from smallest to largest court size).
Since the first tournament in Finland in the mid 80's, Racketlon has grown significantly, now involves a World Tour and also many domestic tours in Belgium, Austria and Sweden to name a few, in 2008 there will be more tournaments than ever.
Racketlon is more than simply a combination of the four racket sports - it has developed into a sport in its own right, with characteristics, tactics and psychology unique to it. It can be played by anyone, regardless of age or level - every tournament on the World Tour includes different categories for different standards of player.
