Because with each bounce it loses energy.
How come some soccer balls bounce higher than others?
Tennis balls are porous, and will allow water to seep in. The water adds too much weight to the tennis ball, causing it to be too heavy to bounce, in addition to ruining the outer surface of the tennis ball.

WHAT IF A TENNIS BALL HITS A PLAYER DURING PLAY?
Here is the link to the official USTA tennis rules: http://www.usta.com/AboutUs/~/media/USTA/Document%20Assets/2007/02/09/doc_13_16051.ashx Under Section 24. Player Loses Point (page 19), The point is lost if: The ball in play touches the player or anything that the player is wearing or carrying, except the racket; This rule does not specify whether the player is inside or outside of the court. This means that it doesn't matter if the player is inside or outside of the court. As long as the player touches the ball with his body or clothing, s/he loses the point. This interpretation can be verified at the following site: http://www.collinscompany.com/Tennis_Court_Equipment_And_Supplies/Tennis_Rule_20.asp Under section g., there is a comment on this rule, which states: USTA Comment: This loss of point occurs regardless of whether the tennis player is inside or outside the bounds of his tennis court when the tennis ball touches him. Writer's comment: Even though the ball is clearly out if the player was hit by the ball when s/he was standing outside of the court, the player whom was hit by the ball still loses the point because s/he touches the ball with his body or clothing, which ends the point.
Why is aerobic endurance important in tennis?
Aerobic endurance or aerobic capacity is important to a tennis player. Tennis is a sport which requires both mental and physical fitness. The mental and physical abilities of a player complement each other whether for the better or for the worse. The brain and all parts of the human body require adequate amounts of oxygen for proper functioning. Tennis is played at higher levels when the player is working with a well oxygenated brain and body. If the human body is oxygen deprived, or goes into a state of oxygen-debt, the tennis player loses the ability to focus the mind properly, or to pay good attention. Aerobic endurance, as it applies to tennis, means that a tennis player has well developed lungs with the output capacity to supply the oxygen needs to the entire body, without interruption, during even the most demanding of points of any game.

Why do tennis balls lose their bounce when they get wet?
A tennis ball is essentially a pressurized rubber ball covered with cloth. The rubber is not completely impermeable, however, and slowly leaks over time, just like a latex balloon eventually loses its air. Also, the rubber loses some of its elasticity, although that effect is probably negligible, inasmuch as even unused tennis balls that have been removed from their pressure pack become "dead."
When a tennis ball is dropped to the ground it does not bounce back to its original height?
When a tennis ball is dropped to the ground, it loses some of its energy upon impact, which is converted into other forms of energy such as heat and sound. This loss of energy causes the ball to bounce back to a lower height than its original position. Additionally, factors like air resistance and the elasticity of the ball also contribute to the decrease in bounce height.
