If you put the #1 table tennis player, the #1 racquetball player, the #1 squash player, the #1 badmington player on the tennis court and put a tennis racquet in their hand and make them play tennis. Which one will win?
Racquetball would win. The reason being, it is the one that most resembles the tennis ball bounce and the racket head is the closest in size. Also, its the one where the player needs to cover more area and swing on the move much like tennis.
Squash player would not be as good because tennis balls bounce higher than squash balls and you need to accommodate the the larger bounce arch. Also the tennis ball is much heavier so a large adjustment would be needed to accommodate the longer swings.
Badminton player would have no chance. The speed would kill him as well as the ball and racket being so much heavier for tennis.
Table tennis player would also not stand a chance. The ball and racket dynamics are way to different.
I’d say squash, but then again I’m rather partial.
The badminton dude would be toast; they’re used to a ball/birdie/shuttlecock with a much slower rate of travel.

I would probably think the racquetball player but that would depend on how he adjusts to having to put the ball on the ground. Same for the squash player.
The table tennis player may be able to pull it out though but that would depend on how well he would be able to move.
After some careful thought, I’m starting to think the badminton may be able to win the match-up, but that may depend on how well he hits ground strokes.

Myself. I have played all of them.
I’d say squash or racquet ball. To be honest, I’m not sure of the difference between those two sports.
In response to the first answerer, badminton is actually faster than tennis. The birdie travels at up to 200 mph. Of course it slows down in the air much faster. They may have problems with the tennis ball "coming onto them" much faster than the birdie does.
Table tennis players don’t really have to do much running. That would be their downfall.
