3 points = 40<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n In order to win a game, players must reach 4 points before the opposing team reaches 3 points. If the points stand at 40-40, then the game has arrived at a “deuce<\/strong>“. In this case, the game will continue to be played until one players wins with a two-point advantage<\/strong>. At this point, the scoring system shifts to indicate whether a player holds an advantage, or if the game has returned to deuce again.<\/p>\n\n\n Let\u2019s take a Player A\/B example to explain this:<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n
If Player A and Player B have arrived at a deuce and Player A wins the next point, then it\u2019s Advantage A. If Player A wins the next point too, then Player A wins the game. However, if Player B wins the next point, Player A has lost his\/her advantage and the game is back at a deuce. If Player B then wins the next point, then it\u2019s Advantage B, and he\/she must win the next point to win the game. If not, the game is back at a deuce once more<\/strong>. This will be repeated as many times as needed until a winner is declared.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n Once the game is won, players will change sides and service.<\/p>\n\n
\n Types of Sets\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n The players\u2019 goal in a set is to win six games by two.<\/strong> But what happens if both players win five games?<\/p>\n\n\n That\u2019s where the two different types of sets come in: the Advantage Set <\/strong>and the Tiebreak Set<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n The rules of an Advantage Set are simple in this regard – the set must continue until a player wins it by two games. In the case of the Tiebreak Set, once the set arrives at 5-5, there are two further options available:<\/p>\n\n
\n One player wins the next two sets and wins the set at 7-5.<\/p><\/div><\/li>
\n The score reaches 6-6 and a tiebreak game is played. The winner of the tiebreak game will win the set 7-6.<\/p><\/div><\/li><\/ol>\n\n
\n What Is a Tiebreak Game?\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n A tiebreak game is played at the end of a tiebreak set<\/strong> when players have reached a score of 6-6.<\/p>\n\n\n The aim of a tiebreak is to reach 7 points with a gap of at least 2 points from the opponent. In this type of game, points will be counted in ascending order from 0 to 7 (not using the 15, 30, 40 system).<\/p>\n\n
\n If the tiebreak game score is 6-6, the game will continue until one player wins the game by 2 points. Such a game could potentially have a score such as 20-18, depending on how long it takes for one player to achieve the 2-point margin.<\/p>\n\n
\n In this game, players will switch ends every six points scored<\/strong> (when then score is 3-3, 5-1 or 4-2).<\/p>\n\nTennis Ranking<\/h2>\n \n\n \n In the tennis world, players gain points for every match in a tournament, with points weighted depending on the difficulty or importance of the match<\/strong>. In this way, they can be ranked against each other to see who is the best.<\/p>\n\n\n Below are the tables for the best-ranked male and female players at the time of writing.<\/p>\n\n

What is a tiebreak game in tennis?<\/strong><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/i>\n <\/label>\n \n
\n \n
A tiebreak game is played at the end of a set when the players have drawn 6-6 on games. They must then play a final game which will determine who will win that set. Points are normally counted in ascending order from 0 to 7, and the first one to reach 7 will win the game and hence the set.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
