Yes it is possible, see HawkEye (ELC - Understanding the tennis ball bounce ). There are always some preconditions to make it works:

• multiple cameras strategically located
• cameras calibrated (intrinsics (focal length, distorsion, ...) + extrinsics (how each cameras are related to each other))
• high framerate cameras
• ...

If you don't have any experience in computer vision, simple tennis ball tracking should be feasible more or less easily (HSV color segmentation for instance).
