Should this not be, "I used to play tennis with him on Sundays"?

I'm not sure; 'used to' suggests a habitual action which takes the plural.

Not in my version of English. I agree with CK here.

Seeing as we're both natives from the UK, I guess it's an agree to disagree moment.

It sounds strange to me, as well.

"Every Sunday", sure... But otherwise it needs a plural because it's habitual past.
