I was thinking at exactly this idea for over 2 years.
I even started with Python & OpenCV for basic background extraction, and as I expected, the edges for the players are imperfect. But still, the result is very very promising. I'm so glad someone did it.
Why I was thinking at it is because the end goal would be to apply frame matching & transitioning to football. Tennis is the easier task, the camera angle is almost fixed.
But from this result, to football, we aren't far. Even an approach based on AI + some human intervention would suffice.

By using the already recorded matches, we would have something very authentic in terms of how players behave on the field.
