There are at least three artists sharing this name.
1. Tennis is Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore, a husband/wife duo. The idea for the project began one day a couple of years ago when Alaina made fun of Patrick for playing tennis in college. A year later the two fled their hometown Denver to spend eight months sailing and exploring the North Atlantic coast. During their adventures they began writing music together documenting their experiences. The Longboat Pass Songfacts reports that the pair eventually recorded their songs. The resulting album, Cape Dory, is about their time on the seas, the majority of the tracks being about the difficulties they experienced during their trip.
2. Australian Indie band containing two brothers, two cousins and a mystery bass player. Tennis have left the halcyon days of art school behind in pursuit of the perfect musical storm. Tennis played their first gig at a strip club in Surry Hills circa ’06, simultaneously debuting in Sydney’s indie and adult entertainment scenes.
Pursuing the former rather than the latter, Tennis have since graced the stages of many more credible venues, supporting the likes of; Matt & Kim(USA), The Ruby Suns(NZ), Wolf and Cub, Children Collide, Lost Valentinos, Tame Impala and The Holidays. Their colliding beats, wild rhythms, melodic vocals and stark atmospheres meld into a festive music de force driving listeners into a sweaty rapture.
3. IDM project of Ben Edwards & Douglas Benford. Their releases:

Downloading Young & Old from Amazon at the moment, and was delighted to see that it comes with two bonus tracks! Already heard one of them (Deep in the Woods), but "Vegas" is totally new to me. Awesome.

If last.fm can't manage to separate artists with the same name, clearly the prime spot should be given to the most popular artist. It's ludicrous to demand top billing for an artist that gets scrobbled far less (particularly when the artist who released first is oftentimes defunct).

These pretentious wimps should have googled up the damn name before taking it. Tennis is the IDM project listed as number 3 for over a decade now. Last.fm should enforce a rule by which the prime spot is given to the artist who has released first under a given name.
