Tennis not being as active? This is coming from a former football and track player and current baseball play and tennis is HARD. It takes skill and it may not be the 5 mile run like track but its sprinting for an hour. It wont make you grow taller (Thats all genetics and eating your fruits and vaggies ;D)

i do not think so that playing tennis can help people grow taller. maybe in effect of playing rigid tennis you might fall asleep early, and because of that situation it might help people grow taller. but it would be better for you to continue playing tennis. it is really good for our health.

Well tennis is one of the most active sports, you use your entire body, not just your arms and legs.
& plus if you play a good match you will do a lot of running sometimes equivalent to a few miles..
you don’t need to play in tournaments to get good exercise, i take my cousins to the park to play, and when we first started going they used to get tired really fast, over the time they lost weight and played for longer periods of time..
tennis cant really help you grow taller, then again what sport can?

As a beginner, it would not be very exercising,as you would be using mostly only your arms. But once you get slightly better at the basics, it is one of the most exercising sports for the entire body. But it will not help in increasing height. For what you are looking for, swimming is probably better.
