what i know so far is that u start off at the deuce side and for any ties (love all, 15 all, 30 all etc.).

anythign else? i have a quiz on it and 4 every question i miss i have to do laps ~_~

Answer 1

okay so you start on the deuce side. and after every serve/return u switch sides. so u play one pt starting on the deuce side and then go to the ad side and play a pt, etc. going back and forth. it isnt always just on ties, but your right, on ties you do end up on the deuce side. if you are on the deuce side, and it is 15-15 and then you win the next point to make it 30-15 (on the ad side) and you win that point too... you are back on the deuce side... at 40-15. or it can also be 30-love. sry if that doesnt make any sense!

email me if you have any other questions.

good luck :)

Answer 2

Ok, instead of thinking about it as 0-15-30-40, think of it as a four-point system, where 0 is 1, 15 is 2, 30 is 3, and 40 is 4. When the scores add up to an even number (ex 0-0, 0-2, 1-1, 0-4, 3-1 and anything reverse of those) you stand on the deuce side. Anything adding up to odd you start the serve from the ad side.

Answer 3

um...you pretty much just switch sides after the point is over

but are you talking about when you switch side of the court?

that every odd game TOTAL so after the first game you switch, the 3rd game you switch and so on

as for tiebreakers, you start on the ad side and serve/receive one and then your opponent serves/receives two and then you get two of whatever until someone reaches 7, win by two
