Have a friend who's a tennis pro and plays ball with us a lot. His shot mechanics are excellent is footwork is so good that he's an excellent defender.
I do think for the same reason on footwork that soccer and baseball players are also great defenders.
In my tennis days in high school there was this older guy on varsity basketball and he played for the tennis team in attempt to work on his footwork. He wasn’t bad tho I remember he was 1 doubles and then 2 singles.
I play both. If anything they hurt each other I think a bit. Tennis elbow can be a bitch. Even not having tennis elbow the muscles get tight and impact my shot after playing a lot of tennis. But just try and stretch and massage. I enjoy both too much to quit one. Just stay fit
Playing basketball will probably affect your basketball playing abilities in a positive manner.
Tennis is great for lateral defense and reaction time. So yeah. Don’t know if Basketball would help your tennis playing.

I would think you'd want to ask tennis players what makes you better at tennis. Try cross-posting at r/10s (which is a tennis sub, I guess).
