You'll argue that you only have one racquet and should know how you hit it. In tennis, the ball is moving at different speeds with different spins, and many times you are on a dead run while trying to hit it.
Thats physical. Not mental. In golf the wind and rain are HUGE factors that effect your total gameplan.Yes they play the same holes for Four days but how windy is it. How much rain did/are we getting .How soft will it make the grens?? What about Wind and rain at the same time? The elements do not factor this way in tennis.

Wind and the sun can be big factors in tennis.

In reality, these aren't separate. Your "mind" is your brain, nervous system, etc. Therefore, "physical" exhaustion necessarily leads to mental exhaustion.
Tennis has all three elements and, overall, is the toughest sport. Look at the amount of consistently great pros in tennis versus golf.
