In your example, the tonic or disjunctive pronoun is used for emphasis of the subject.
J'aime le tennis = I like tennis
Moi, j'aime le tennis = As for me, I like tennis
J'aime le tennis = I like tennis
Moi, j'aime le tennis = As for me, I like tennis
Let's take this example :
Paul et moi sommes amis. J'aime le tennis et Paul, lui, aime le football.
Paul et moi sommes amis. J'aime le tennis et Paul aime le football.
The second sentence is correct, but the first one highlights the contrast between Paul and I. It puts the stress on the difference between them (making an opposition is the main goal of this statement).
Paul veut aller au cinéma; moi (au contraire), je ne veux pas y aller.
Je vais partir à Londres; Paul, lui (au contraire), reste à la maison.
Moi, je n'aime pas fumer (sous-entendu contrairement aux autres).
