The formula
game: first to 4 points with a 2-point lead set: first to 6 games with a 2-game lead, tie-break at 6–6 tie-break: first to 7 points with a 2-point lead
Points in a game are called 15, 30 and 40. At 40–40 the score is deuce, and the next point gives advantage.
What to watch out for
Count every point each player has won in the game, including those after deuce. Say the server’s score first when calling it aloud.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it deuce and not 40–40?
Three points each is called deuce, and a player then needs two points in a row to win the game.
What is the score after 4 points to 2?
Game to Player A: four points with a 2-point lead ends the game.
