This is not true at all as I play both sports and out of the two, Tennis is my stronger sport.

For Tennis, you need consistent strength, constant muscle movement, and is generally slower overall as the breaks in between points are a lot longer than those in badminton.

In Badminton, you need explosive strength and short bursts of energy. The points are a lot quicker and there are generally more hits in a rally than those in badminton. Breaks in between points are also a lot shorter.

Out of the two, I would say Badminton is actually more taxing on the body.
