the points go like this if you are serving and win a point it is 15-0(0 is love) the servers score is always first
15-15 they won a point
30-15 you won a point
30-30 they won point
40-30 you won point and now its game point
40-40= Duece the won point and its now called duece your tied at 40
AD in you won point and now its your advantage
you win another point is game so the set score is 1-0 your winnining then you keep playing by those points and then its first person to 6 in the set score you do that 3 times 6-other score
6-other score 6-other score

Tennis has various ways of scoring.
Professional players usually in a match play either best out of 3 sets or mens sometimes best out of 5 sets.
Sets are won by winning 6 games.
Games are won by winning 4 points.
In tennis there is usually a win by two system which means it can go higher than just 4 points or just 6 games.
Points
0=love
1=15
2=30
3=40
4=game (as in you won the game)
the love 15 30 and 40 is what you say
instead of 1-0 you say 15-love
why? it is just that way i think it will be hard to find the
exact reason why.
Now because there is a win by two system when it gets to 40-40, it is called deuce which means win by two. When you win it you say advantage or ad in and if you lose it you say advantage other person or ad out. If you win two in a row after deuce you win the game, if you split points it goes back to deuce and this can go on forever until someone wins two.
If you play no-ad scoring which means there is no ad, there is no deuce and 40-40 would be game point.
Every game you change servers, so if you serve first you serve the whole game then the next game your opponent serves.
You change sides of the court every point so you serve on the right and left side each other point.
You switch courts on every odd game meaning when you finish your first game since 1 game is odd you switch over to the other side.
If it happens that the games go to 5-5, you win by two to go to 7.
If it happens that the games go to 6-6, you play a tiebreaker.
A tiebreaker is played up to seven points. There is no name for points in a tiebreaker. Just 1-1, 2-1, 5-5, etc. This is also win by two so if it goes to 6-6 you go to 8 and so on. In a tiebreaker you switch servers every odd point and switch sides every point as normal but you switch over courts at every 6 points so 6, 12, 18 if it goes that far. Whoever wins the tiebreaker wins the set with a score of 7-6. If you happen to play best out of 3 you repeat.

There is also a set called a proset.
You would go up to 8 games instead of 6 as in a regular set.
also win by two but when you get to 7-7 it is a tiebreaker so the max games you can get is 8.

Just to expand in most rules you have to win the set (which is the six gamesthat was discussed) by 2 games so it can go as high as 8-6 or more if needed. Sometimes you will play a tiebreaker when the score reaches six six which begins by one person (the next to serve- which gets rotated after each game) serving one point, then the other person serving two points. This continues until someone gets to seven again winning by two.
