It depends on such things as your body weight, your degree of fitness, how hard you are playing, and whether you are playing on hard ground or grass.

For example, a 70 minute session of tennis could (for some people) burn approximately 500 calories if arms are swung in big motions, your feet are moved a lot, and you use backhand and forehand with force. Kate Hudson swears by it.

Well, it depends on how intense is the game, or how much you rest, or if you rest at all. Assuming you take a small break of 1 or 2 minutes and the game is moderately intense (not just chatting around) you should be able to burn around 110 calories. The more intense you play and the less you rest, the better. So if the game is not just for fun and you play it as a sport practice and then you might burn more calories, maybe around 120-140. If you play longer, then you could burn up to 200 kcal.

Yes the longer and harder you play the more calories you'll burn.

So YES you will lose weight playing tennis.

In terms of exercise and calories, what workouts burn the most per hour?

The more vigorous the workout, the more calories per hour the exerciser will burn. Full body workouts tend to burn more calories per hour than partial body workouts. An elliptical machine, for example, where the user moves their arms, will burn more calories per hour than a stationary bicycle. Sports such as running, hiking and racquetball also burn a high number of calories per hour.
