The surface rate is fixed per square foot, so the variable is the slab. A court with a few hairline cracks needs little beyond cleaning and patching. A court with long structural cracks needs them bridged, and that is priced by the linear foot. If cracks have come back after a previous resurface, a full-court mat system at $6.50 per square foot isolates the new surface from the slab so they do not print through again.
If the surface is sound and you only need fresh lines, repainting tennis lines is a flat $1,500. Building a new court instead? See tennis court construction cost.

$6 per linear foot for standard fill and level, or $20 per linear foot for a long-term membrane system.
Acrylic sport surfaces are typically resurfaced every 4 to 8 years depending on climate, use, and how cracks were treated.
Look for a sport court builder, not a general paving company: surfacing systems and crack membranes are specialty work. The calculator on this site connects you with a court builder in our network where one serves your area.
