Best Answer

Water is not condusive to the game of tennis.

The qualities of the tennis ball and the court change significantly in the presence of moisture, and thus a different style of play is needed, which is not considered good tennis.

Matches could be played, however the style of game would change significantly and most people would content the outcome was not the product of fair play.
