  1. Yes. In doubles they play a Match tiebreaker in the third set.

    In 2006, ATP and ATP Challenger doubles matches will use a scoring format featuring two sets to 6 (tie-break at 6:6), no-ad games, and a Match Tie-break (first to 10 points, win by two) at one-set all. The new format, with its predictable length and unique scoring features, will provide for better scheduling and more showcasing on feature courts; offer entertaining features that will be emphasized in promotion and marketing; prove to be more appealing to television broadcasters and sponsors; and it is hoped to attract more singles players.
