Tennis elbow involves the wrist flexors muscles which are located below your elbow joint. I am not sure what crush heads are but it sounds like you are overusing your biceps. with any excerises the weight should be challening but not hurting. Try droping the weight a bit and stretchig before. A good rotator cuff strenghtenting program should help to stabalize the shoulder joint and take the load off the biceps.

I play tennis recreationaly and I know how much you can hurt the day after. Make sure you are doing an extensive stretching routine before and after your matches because stretching will help prevent injury. As for tennis, there are many injuries that can be attributed, including tennis elbow, Achilles tendon injuries etc. For any tendon injury, it is important to implement the R.I.C.E.R. regime (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation and Referral to a sports doctor if the injury doesn't heal). This needs to happen for the first 48-72 hours as this is the most crucial time in the healing process.
