How To Score Tennis?

Points are scored as 0, 15, 30, 40, then game

If both players reach 40, it is deuce

From deuce, a player must win two points in a row to win the game

One point after deuce is advantage

If the player with advantage wins the next point, they win the game

If the player with advantage loses the next point, the score returns to deuce

A set is usually won by the first player to win 6 games with a margin of 2

If the set reaches 6-6, a tiebreak is usually played

In a tiebreak, points are counted 1, 2, 3, and so on

The first player to reach 7 points with a margin of 2 wins the tiebreak

Winning the tiebreak usually wins the set 7-6

A match is usually won by the first player to win 2 sets or 3 sets, depending on the format
