Tennis scoring question?

Question

OK so I get how tennis is scored, but in some cases scores like this one confuzels me . . . 6-2 7-5 7-6(4) . . . . why the 4 in ()'s?

Answer 1

As you can see, 6-6 is a tiebreaker, and the score is 7-6. So the (4) equal the points of the other team. Since you won, and to finish of a tiebeaker you need 7 points so the tiebeaker score was (7-4). However, tiebreaker you can also win by getting two points ahead only if you pass 7. So if it ends with (13) that mean the score was (15-13) you won.

Answer 2

The 4 is in the parentheses because the 7-6 set was decided in a tiebreak. The 4 is how many points the loser of the tiebreak got in the tiebreak, with the winner obviously getting 7.

Answer 3

it means tiebreak score 7-4

Answer 4

the number between () indicates the tiebreak score, it's the number that the loser of the tiebreak gets.-

if it's four, indicates that the tiebreak went 7-4.-

it's like this: if the number is 5 or less, the tiebreak went 7-the number.-

and if the number is 6 or bigger, the winner of the tiebreak got that number plus 2.-

the tiebreak has to be won with 7 points and by a difference of two points.-

i hope i made myself clear.-
