Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the tooth can be because of the impact by the tennis ball. During the time of trauma, the tooth gets compressed and apply pressure over the nerve endings in the root tip. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get a rdaiograph done to rule out any tooth infection. Usually the tooth will loose its life after impact. Check the vitality of the tooth. So confirm whether that tooth is milk tooth or permanent, if it is permanent tooth, get it restored with RCT if it is non vital. If it is a milk tooth and infected get it extracted and replace it with a bridge or an implant.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
