I guess you could use two different colored balls, one color per player. A player only touches their colored ball. You’d also have to draw a line as to how close to the net they could play.
Could televise: Golf – pretty easy to keep apart – no grouping; Bowling – separate lanes; Poker – use video version to deal and tile the screens like zoom; Weight lifting – separate weights and even separate gyms; …
Player 2 returns a serve softly, just over the net, requiring player 1 (who served) to rush the net in order to play the return. Player 1’s exhale is projected more than twice the normal six feet due to increased range of spray from people who are running.
Player 2 decides to run to the net to block player 1’s return shot, instead of waiting at center/baseline to react to that shot. This causes increased exhale range also from player 2.
Each player is now within exhale envelope of their opponent, and either (if infected) may potentially infect the other.
If one of the players becomes ill within a couple of weeks (plus or minus less than 14 days), testing/tracing policy is in effect, and results in identifying the tennis match as the location of transmission and the opponent as vector, whomever decided it is medically safe to resume professional tennis is ridiculed, reviled, and potentially open to civil legal repercussion.

Some morons are protesting and want the country to reopen, regardless of the consequences.

How about the crew retrieving and throwing tennis balls to the players? In this age of coronavirus, things get complicated quickly.

At least the ump. can’t hear the cursing,
