All sounds normal to me. It should feel tighter if Fares has done a good job as the graft should be tighter than the original because the tendon will become more like a ligament over time (it will lengthen as it reduces in width). Tennis is a real step forward and basically should should be doing some change of direction movements, some eccentric loading, light jumping and twisting before having a crack on the court. That said if it is with a coach who can feed you the balls consistently then tennis can form a nice part of your rehab protocol. Just like there's 'swimming and SWIMMING' there's also 'tennis and TENNIS', so depends on the definition vs the actual
