How tennis is scored

  • Points go love, 15, 30, 40, game, and the server's score is called first.
  • At 40-40 it's deuce. The next point gives the advantage: ad in for the server's side, ad out for the receivers. Win the next one too for the game.
  • Every game starts from the deuce side, the right half, and the server switches sides after each point.
  • In doubles each team picks who serves its first game; then the serve rotates through all four players for the whole set.
  • The games score is called with the next server's team first. A set goes to 6 games with a lead of two.
  • At 6-6 a tiebreak decides: points count 1, 2, 3, first to 7 with a lead of two. The serve changes after the first point, then every two.
  • Players change ends after every odd game, and every six points in a tiebreak.
