Published Jan 27, 2026

The Royal Tennis Court is deeply saddened to share the news that Peter Ohlson passed away recently.

As a long term member and past Chairman of RTC, many members will remember Peter for his enthusiasm for the game and affection for RTC. Peter had a mischievous sense of humour and was a proponent of the Pique serve - he always kept his doubles partners on their toes.

The Royal Tennis Court extends its heartfelt condolences to Peter's daughters, Gemma and Emily, and family and friends during this difficult time.
