Look at the site.

No the website isn't wrong. Just you need to know that "shimasu" means "to do".

shimasu = to do
tenisu wo shimasu = play tennis
sanpou wo shimasu = to take a walk
aisatsu wo shimasu = to give a greeting
shigoto wo shimasu = to work

In Japanese we don't say "play tennis" but more accurately "do tennis".
