So what is the href for the link?
To get that message then the href for the link is wrong.
Typically it would be nameofpage.html

A. If the page one is trying to link to is within the SD4 project (i.e. it appears in the list if one clicks on Pages > Activate Page), then the Href box (in the Selected Element Properties section of the Element panel) should be completed as follows -
1. delete the "#";
2. enter the full filename including the .html at the end.

B. Otherwise it is completed as follows -
1. delete the "#";
2. enter the full URL including the initial https and the full file name.

The exception to item B2 above is when the file linked to is within the same website, but not within the same SD4 project and one is using relative addressing. One would then delete the "#" and enter the full relative address.

I am wondering whether the filenames being entered are not valid ones. If removing capital letters, spaces etc. from those filenames doesn't do the trick, someone may be able to help if the exact entries in the Href box are posted here.

If you are entering your existing website Url (edstennis.net/prostrokes.html) then that will also show a page not found sort of message, due to your website is no longer active with hostgator
well actually it is still hosted but suspended
