I know it’s love,15,30,40 but what about duce and advantage and tie breakers and stuff?
please be detailed I need this before tuesday!
Thannkks!
Okay so when you play tennis if you win 1 point you have 15. If you when 2 points you have 30 and if you win 3 you have 40. If the score is 40-30 (the server always calls out her score first) and the server looses the point it becomes 40-40( 3-3) however instead of saying 40-40 tennis players say, “Deuce”. If the server wins the next point she would then call out “Ad-In” this stands for advantage in meaning she is up. If she wins the next point then she wins the game. However if she looses the point then the score goes back to deuce.
If at deuce the returner wins the point the score is “Ad-Out” (meaning advantage out) and the returner is up in the score. Once again if the returner looses this point then the score goes back to deuce. If the returner wins the point that she wins the game.
Tie breakers are played win the game score reaches 6-6. To start a tiebreaker the person who returned in the game to make the game score 6-6 would serve first in the tiebreak. This person would serve once and then the two players would alternate serving two each. When they have played a total of 6 points the players change sides of the court. They continue this until someone wins by reaching 7 first (but they must win by a margin of 2 points). Sometimes tie breakers are played instead of a third set, the scoring is done the same way however it is played to 10 instead of 7. I hope this helps!
