    Are you able to get on the court during the match or perhaps an adjacent open court? If so, you can avoid having the net appear in your shot. Also, you might try zooming or using a larger focal length prime to get the torso and swing of the player (again without having the net appear).

    I have some recent shots of college tennis at the link below:

    Not allowed on the court during a match, or inside the fence. I push the gate open about a foot and stick my lens through.

    I can get up on the hill and shoot over though.

    Enjoyed your series.

    Here's an OOB from a college match. This is an interesting, fun thing to try and tennis provides a good starting photo.
