  1. Well ``scoreing things`` I assume you mean Love ? for example the points go from 15 30 40 :) Once you go past 40 you`ve got yourself a game in the bag ;) so it would be 1-0 and then it would the next persons serve and so same proceedure. If your level on a persons serve and its 40-40 then it would be called Deuce...until one person gets another point it would Adv-40 meaning they have just one more point to get to win that game. Same goes for breaking each others serve ! Hey i dont think ive explained that pretty well haha Im sure more people will break it down nice n easy for ya :) I know what i mean in my head hehe Besides is this not a joke question ? If its not sorry....but even if u havent played tennis for ``months`` im pretty sure you should no how the game scoring works !!!


  2. OK, the basics.

    Match - the competition that decides who wins and who loses. To play a match you typically need to win 2 out of 3 sets.

    Set - 6 games won by one player (sometimes 7)

    A set is won by the first player to reach 6 games by a margin of two games.  This means that if each player wins 5 games, the next game does not win the set. You can win a set by the score of 7-5 (meaning you were tied at 5 games).  In the event you're tied at 6 games, you typically play a tiebreaker.

    We'll save the tiebreaker for another day.... it can get confusing.

    Game

    A series of points where one player is trying to win 4 points by a margin of 2.  Here's the confusing part.  Points are not referred to as "One, Two, Three, Four", but rather by "Fifteen, Thirty, Forty,...."   More confusion is that the term "Love" means "zero" in tennis.  So every game starts out at "Love"  (zero).  If you win the first point, you are winning 15-Love. That means you have 15 (one point) and your opponent has Love (zero).  If you win the next point it is now 30-love.  If they win the next point it is now 30-15.  If you win the next point it is 40-15. If you win the next point it is game... and you lead in games 1-love.  There is no term for the point after 40, since it is simply the end of the game.  If you and your opponent are tied at 40, it is referred to as deuce.  The next point determines the "advantage".  For example, if you are serving and it is Deuce (40-40), and you win that point, it is your advantage.... also known as "advantage in" or "ad in" for short.  Whenever the server has the advantage, it is known as "ad in".  Likewise whenever the receiver has the advantage it is "ad out".  So if you are serving at "ad in" and win the point it is game.  If you lose the point it is deuce again.  You keep going back and forth until someone wins the game.

    I hope that helps.

  3. the scores are love (none), 15, 30, 40, deuce (if the score is 40-40) and game. hope i helped :)
