Carbohydrates are the body's main energy source for physical activities like tennis. Water is crucial for hydration, especially during intense exercise to prevent dehydration. Proteins are more for muscle repair and growth (but not the immediate energy source like carbs). Fats are a secondary energy source and not as critical as carbs and water for an athlete's immediate performance and health in this context.
