Question

How is the scoring done in a tennis match?

Answer 1

1. Points in a game are called love, 15, 30 and 40; at 40–40 the score is called deuce.
2. After deuce, a player needs to gain a two-point advantage to win the game. A set is made up of games, and a match is usually the best of three or five sets.
3. In the format described in the text, women play best-of-three-set matches and men play best-of-five-set matches.
