Fun, but flawed.
There is nothing in the body of the teaser (or implied elsewhere) that the third brother has to be playing tennis with another brother.
Venus ... where are you when we need you??

Yes you can, havent you ever seen pro players play against a wall?
There was nothing to indicate or imply that he necessarily had to be playing iwth a brother. He could have been practicing against a wall or playing with friend(s).
i like it good one but i did it
2 things.
1. Personally, I thought he was taking note of what the other 6 brothers were doing. Eh, it seemed clever to me.
2. This teaser is complete and utter rubbish. How can I possibly deduce that brother 3 isn't just playing with a friend? Or his parents? Or even an uncle?
HOW WAS THIS EVER ACCEPTED?!

Wow Qucikq! calm down! It's only a flipping teaser! Take a chill pill ! I notice your personal motto is "be happy" - perhaps you should try!
Wow. I set that as my motto something like 10 years ago. I was quite a different person back then. Nevertheless, I am beaten.
Sorry about my irritation. Years ago, a perfectly good teaser of mine was rejected for having "too many answers", when between me and my mother we could come up with three. To this day, it bugs me irrationally every time I see a teaser I don't like that's been accepted.

(Jut for the record, it was a situation teaser reading "I press a button. This wins me £25. Why?")
Fair enough Quckq - let's call a truce!
No need. You've already won.
Oh I hate it when the answer is staring you right in the face!! Well done
Thank you Zig!
Playing tennis
Just because the brother was playing tennis does not mean he was playing with his brother....
That one requires an assumption to solve. Too many variables in play or not enough information to arrive at that conclusion.

My favorite part of this teaser was Marple's upbeat and friendly response to Quickq. Way to be Marple!
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got it very quickly with the hint.
