tennis? scores???????

Question

i love to see tennis (the game) but i dont know how the score work? how can a player score and how long?? i mean when its the game over? after what??

Answer 1

0=love
15= The first point scored
30= The second point scored
40= The third point scored

At first the person who is serving calls out the score..which would be 0-0 or love all. Say if you're the server and you win the point then on the next serve you would say 15-love. You always call out your score first. Then let's say the other person wins the next point, you would then say 15-15 or 15 all. Then you keep on like that until someone gets to 40. If it ends up as a tie at 40-40 then its called deuce. If you're playing advantage then the next person that scores has the advantage. Then they must score again to win the game. If they don't score then the other person has the advantage. This could go on forever...lol. If you're not playing advantage then the next person who scores after deuce is the winner.

You always switch on the odd number games. After the first person serves you switch sides of the court, then at game three you switch again, and so on. You always call out the game score first, and then your score. Like If you've won 3 games and your opponent has won 2, you would call out 3-2 love all. After you say that the first time then you dont really need to say it again until the next game. You just keep on keeping score as usual.

Different people play different numbers of games. Some play to 6 and some play to 8. But either way you have to win by two. So if it were 5-6 you would have to play another game to make it 5-7.

I hope this helped...

Answer 2

the scoring looks hard but it's not.
Love= 0
15=the first point scored by either opponent
30=the second point scored by either opponent
40=the third point scored by either opponent

Now, say you and I were playing a match and I serve the ball to you and you miss it or I hit a great shot that you can't return or handle, I would win that point and the score at that point would be 15 to love(remeber, love means zero)

Lets say on my ensuing serve yo rip one back that I cannot get to.....well, then the score would be 15 to 15, or as we say in the tennis world "15 all" it goes on this way until someone has 40 and wins that point, then the game is over. Unless of course it gets to a point where you both have 40( 40 all) and then the game is at deuce.

If the game goes to deuce, the first person to win two consequative points in a row would win that game. That's where you would hear the term "add in" or "add out" This simply is letting you know who has the "advantage" The person with the advantage will win the game if they can win the very next point. "add in" means the player who is serving has the advantage. "add out" means the person who is being served to has the advantage.

A typical set is games to six. First player to get to six wins. But, you have to win by two games. If you do not and it's a tie (7to7) you would play a tie breaker. I hope I helped you out. My fingers are getting tired. Good luck.

Answer 3

its best two out of three sets(3 out of 5 in a grand slam) a set is 6 games and if the score is 6-6 then the play a 7 point tie break for that set.
the score goes 0,or love-15-30-40-game
if the score is 40-40 then its called deuce and you have to win by two points.
PS if the game score is 5-5 you can win 7-5

hope this helps.

Answer 4

Tennis Scores
For large tournament like US Open, Australia Open, France Open and Wimbledon Open
Man play on 5 sets 3 win. (whoever win 3 sets first will win the match)
Woman play on 3 sets 2 win. (whoever win 2 sets first will win the match)

For each set, whoever win 6 games first will win the set.

But, if both players tie on 5-5, then whoever get 7-5 (win 2 successive games) will win the set.
But, if both players tie on 6-6, then both players will play on deciding games.
For deciding games, whoever get 7 points first will win the set.
But, if both players tie on 6-6 or 7-7 or further in deciding game, the winner must get 2 successive points to win the deciding games.

For each game, first point is 15, second point is 30, thrid point is 40 and then final point to win the game.
If both players tie on 40-40, the player must get advantage point and the final point (win 2 successive points) to win the game.
If not, both players are always in deuce till the winner get 2 successive points (advantage point and final point).
