Compromise on gentle stretches and sports massage at home. Or schedule rest and recovery as an essential part of fitness.
If you’re swinging and jumping about 5/6 days a week at tennis you may already be at risk of developing shin splints or repetitive strain (tennis elbow)
I feel your pain re: Achilles tendonitis. It’s taken me 6 months where I can do general daily activity without hassle. But certain things will still aggravate it though. For example if I walk for more than 5 kms it will start to feel a bit tender.

I have about 5 different injuries i’m carrying :(
Achilles Tendonitis (more on the left leg)
Right knee tendon inflammation
Wrist tendon inflammation
Right ankle ATFL (I tore the ATFL late last year but its still giving me some grief)
Most of these are tennis related injuries though, but I have them under control with proper stretching / gym routine!

Oof yeah, make sure you treat those and allow some recuperation between matches! It’s admirable to be active but rest isn’t laziness
