I have been playing tennis for 5 years and it is getting more and more popular in the recent years, mostly after pandemic.
Here is a list of the tennis clubs in Istanbul and some tips about each (these are mostly my personal opinions as a veteran tennis player)

Yogurtcu Park Tennis Court🎾
Location: Anatolian Side - Moda
A municipality facility. You can go for free.
1 court + training wall
A nice community but you need to wait in the queu for playing. First comes, first enter. So, if you want to play at 16.00, you should calculate the generic density that day and go a few hours before to be in the queu.
You will meet many new people during waiting, so it worths🌸
