You need "tennis player", "such athletes" in the non underline part of the sentence demands a particular noun for reference. A, C and D dont have this noun reference.

I hope you understnad the significance of "tennis players" here

So lets compare B and E .

In B - of "tennis players" - wrong
not only completing but also winning - wrong

E should be correct. IMO: E .
