essentially, you can drop the kudasai, and the phrase wont be rude, just not AS polite.
Also, while they might not know any english, they might know "japanese-english". Like, "racket" is "raketto" <'ra-keh-toe'>, "tennis" is "tenisu" <'tay-knee-suh(the "u" is almost silent")'>.
Since tennis is a foreign thing to Japnaese, I think many of the phrase might exist there. If you speak slowly, and mangle the words, they might know what you mean.
