 It is correct but does not provide automatic answer.
Funny thing is that for me it is a major recreational activity, but
at the same time (especially during big tournaments) tennis becomes
a source of all kinds of fan hoopla. Its a jungle out there.
Subjectively I value recreational aspect more, but would that still be
the case without all the pro-commercial glitter? 

Conclusion: net.sport looks a bit better to me because it puts
tennis together with skiing, hockey, etc. , rather then  coins and nude
sunbathing (in case of net.rec)
