Third sentence is interesting.
Meaning of this sentence depends on stress.
example1:
- Что ты делаешь? Развлекаешься?
- Да, я играю в теннис. (Stress on word “теннис”).
It’s mean, that he(she) is playing tennis right now.

example2:
- Ты играешь в теннис?
- Да, я играю в теннис. (Stress on word “играю”).
It’s mean, that he(she) is able to play tennis. He(she) know how to do it.

That’s why I recorded this sentence twice.

Thanks for explaining. I'll have a think about it (Я подумаю... ;-)

Actually, it was from a section about "Speaking about your interests and hobbies".
