But like, tennis is more of a rich person game and also people with health issues do not play tennis. As in, to.do the scientific claim you in fact have to separate these effects

Sure; I would enjoy talking about these confounding factors, on the tennis court after a round.
My point is that it seems like the only people who bring up trivia like "maybe tennis isn't as good for you as you think it is because there's survivors bias in the population of people used to do studies on the sport" are people who never play tennis. Similarly, if you're a runner you've probably multiple times had people say, directly to you, "oh I could never do that to my knees, running is so bad for them!"
You're explaining micro-gravity in orbit to an astronaut [1]. Leave the science and the confounding factor enumeration and the hypothesis to the academics. Just go play tennis.
