It's hard to tell from a single cropped frame grab, but if you watch the video and pause at several moments, you get a better idea of the size of the field.
A volleyball court is 29.5 ft wide and 59 feet long. Just from this photo, it looks like the width of the field is about the length of two pickup trucks, which would be about 30 feet.
I doubt it's a tennis court. The lines are wrong, plus a tennis game can accommodate at the most four players. You'd really need multiple courts to start to service the potential demand from a building of 10,000 employees. At least with volleyball, you could have 6 or more players per side, plus rotate players from the sidelines.
1) It's coming along nicely. Hopefully the rest of the construction will be finished by next Spring.
2) I hope that's just an illusion because my first thought is rain water collection on that tennis court. I'm thinking it is because 1) it's silly mistake to make, and 2) the tennis court is surely not tilted so the other parts of the image could be an optical illusion.
Given this is the corner of a very wide angle shot it could just be optics.

It's not a question of optics or perspective. This was taken at a distance. One clue is the orange construction fencing which is 6 or 8 feet tall. You can see it off in the distance and closer. The height doesn't change dramatically.
If you use the orange fencing height as another clue, the field appears to be around 30 feet wide. It most definitely is not a hundred feet wide.
The main building is about 50 feet tall (four stories), another clue that this sports field isn't gigantic.
A tennis court would require fairly tall fencing around the perimeter and I simply don't seeing Apple taking that approach in terms of aesthetics. Another strike against the tennis court theory is that this field appears to be made of artificial turf.
