Why are numbers used to designate athletes on the football field but not for athletes on the tennis court?

Numbers are used primarily as an aid to identification. An aid to identification is not required in a game of tennis as there is only ever a maximum of 2 players per side. The identity of these players is easily known at all times during the match by the officials and so numbers are not required.
