Buddha would allow the tennis racket to experience it's racket-ness and then teach it to detach...hitting the ball or not hitting the ball....it is all the same. And there is no ball. It is an illusion. And it makes you suffer; so forget the ball already.

But I don't play tennis! Pretty sure I know where a Buddha would be on swords so I'll stick to avoidance...
