Agreed. Tennis helps the wind, focus and concentration. If you play tennis right you have to let go of the analysis of your game and just see the ball clearly. I used to play a lot, but sailing has been the passion this summer. I recommend reading the 'Inner Game of Tennis" to all of my students who have attained a certain level in their playing and can apply what Gallway has to say about playing tennis to their own musical performance.
I also equate playing chamber music with playing doubles.
