Not really. Every reaction between opponents is physical. Player A has to move to where Player B hits the ball in order to keep the sequence going. I know what you were getting at, since there is no contact between the players, but there is still a distinct physical reaction and exertion as part of the interaction. One step further, although a tennis player is hitting the ball, he/she is still playing the other person....for example, when I'm about to return the ball, I'm looking to hit it where YOU aren't. In curling, I'm playing where you left a stone, not you specifically. And, if I hit the ball all over the court, your chasing it is going to physically wear you down. Doesn't matter where I place a stone in curling, the variation in your exertion isn't going to change much.
