Score In A Game
Rule 5
5. SCORE IN A GAME (OLD 26 & 27)
a. Standard game
A standard game is scored as follows with the servers score being called first:
No point - Love
First point - 15
Second point - 30
Third point - 40
Fourth point - Game
except that if both players/teams have won three points, the score is Deuce. After Deuce, the score is Advantage for the player/team who wins the next point. If that same player/team also wins the next point, that player/team wins the Game; if the opposing player/team wins the next point, the score is again Deuce. A player/team needs to win two consecutive points immediately after Deuce to win the Game.
b. Tie-break game
During a tie-break game, points are scored Zero,1, 2, 3, etc. The first player/team to win seven points wins the Game and Set, provided there is a margin of two points over the opponent(s). If necessary, the tie-break game shall continue until this margin is achieved.
The player whose turn it is to serve shall serve the first point of the tie-break game.
The following two points shall be served by the opponent(s) (in doubles, the player of the opposing team due to serve next). After this, each player/team shall serve alternately for two consecutive points until the end of the tie-break game (in doubles, the rotation of service within each team shall continue in the same order as during that set).
The player/team whose turn it was to serve first in the tie-break game shall be the receiver in the first game of the following set.
