The photo may have been taken at 5 in the morning or some equally unsociable hour for playing sports.

I assume the photographer wanted the courts and streets as empty as possible to create the right mood for the shot

    You could also just take a couple of pictures and if people are moving, do an image stack and it removes the people from the images. Pretty classic technique to get rid of people from busy photos. These days you could also just use AI to remove people from pictures as well.

    I assumed it was roughly 5am as well but my friends and I used to play tennis that early, and so do many tennis players. With how many apartments shown here, I'd figured there'd be more people.

    It's credited to nat geo - this isn't a snapshot by a tourist, if that photographer wants an empty street photo of times square at noon they will get it.

    This could be multiple photos stacked to average out anything that moves.
