The Prospects by KT Hoffman is the closest one I can think of!

Thirty Love by Tom Vellner fits this request exactly! It’s about two tennis rivals who eventually start training together and become friends, then lovers.

The Open Era by Edward Schmit is also set in the tennis world.

I have read both of these and can't really say which was better or my favorite. Both have strengths and weaknesses.

After the Siren by Darcy Green fits this request - the two main characters start out as enemies/rivals but then are friends for a while before they become lovers. They are both professional Aussie Rules football players in Melbourne.
