Wrap it around the rack & head until it's tight? Maybe get a second and wrap that around the rack and handles several times to stabilise it? I'm sure it's possible!
How could I transport my tennis racket on my bike?

My Ortliebs which have the roller top, I've had something's poking out of it whilst still doing it up (usually when I'm trying to pack too much in. It would be fine on a damp day but you wouldn't want to do that in torrential rain as it would get in the pannier too.

Yeah, I think this should be moot. If it's likely to rain, he probably won't be planning on tennis.
OP I think almost any non-rolltop pannier will have a drawstring under the lid. Like this
(that's an ortlieb, fwiw)

That sort of pannier would be perfect for carrying a tennis racket. Where can I get one that is reasonably cheap? (below £30)
I need one with drawstrings on top rather than a clip on cover which seems to be what 99% of panniers have. I suppose it won't matter if a panier did have a clip on cover over the top, but I would need to have the drawstrings to close the pannier around the handlebar of my racket, I could leave the clip cover unclipped.

You need a folding tennis racket. Cue furious Googling which provides this http://s519.photobucket.com/user/tennishistory/media/IMG_5641_zps543e0fb4.jpg.html

Out of the two, I prefer the one you linked here: http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/BACOTRV/cordo-transvaal-single-bag
have you bought that one for yourself? I'm just wondering because the description say 'adjustable zipper' rather than drawstrings.

I was trying to remember the name for that one, I have them on one bike and can carry a lock in them.Abus do the wonderfully named "UGH" bracket
Designed for locks but quite capable of holding a tennis racket or similar

Why not carefully remove the strings, unwind the grip tape and re-roll into neat coil, detatch the handle (with some gentle persuasion if neccessary) and then place these items carefully into your jersey pockets. The remaining 'outer ring' can be placed around your neck with ease. Be sure to take some gaffer tape as when reassembling upon arrival at the tennis club it will no doubt come in quiet handy.
