The person who served in the game that tied it at 6-6 to force the tie-break receives first. To make it simpler, the person who serves the first game in any set also starts serving in a tie-break of that set.

The person who served the first point of the tie-break is considered the server of that "modified game" and the other player always serves the first game of the next set, regardless of who served last in the tie-break.

A normal, 7-point tie-break is decided by the first player to win seven points *and* be ahead by two points. At 7-6 [within the tiebreaker] it's not over yet. At 8-6, the player with 8 points won it. After the match is over the SET SCORE might say, for example: 7-6(x), 6-3. The small "x" here represents the number of points won by the *loser* of the tie break game. In a real listing of a final score, there would be a *number* in the parentheses, not an "x." Unfortunately, sometimes this part of the score isn't shown and they just give you "7-6" without any information on how the tiebreaker itself came out. This is the *set* score, not the tiebreaker score. To speed things up and/or save energy for the players, sometimes tennis tournaments will use a TEN-point tie break game in place of the final *set.* This is simply a longer tiebreaker than a normal tiebreaker used to decide sets, as above. First to 10 points and ahead by two points.
