He has recently started playing tennis with the first girl he ever slept with (they never dated, it was a one night thing).Its been making me quite uncomfortable, they've played a few times this week. I don't know if its cos he just likes playing with her or he wants to see her.Is it right that I'm jealous? Is there anything I can do?

I don't think it is weird to make you feel jealous. I wouldn't like that either. He can find a tennis teacher/coach whatever they are called, there's no reason to need her around. I would tell him how you are feeling and that you don't want him doing it. If he does it anyway then it's up to you whether you deal with it or leave. That's all you can do. Just always be upfront and honest and communicate, tell him your feelings on this.

However, infidelity is infidelity, and tennis is tennis...huge difference. I think if he thought of her as more than a tennis opponent and wanted to be close to her personally, he would have been a bit more discreet about it than to make you aware of it.

Jealousy is an emotion rooted in insecurity... what do you feel insecure about with this girl?
have you asked him what's up with it?
do you play tennis?
