What is a game,set, and match when playing tennis?

Question

I need to know what the definetion of each when you play tennis.

Answer 1

A game in tennis is the first person to get to 40 points but the point system goes 15, 30, 40, but if you tie when it is 40-30 it is deuce, you must win by two points. A set is 6 games winning also by two, a match is winning 3 sets or in some cases four.

Answer 2

A game is when you win a game aha Erm how can i explain lol Like.... you start serving sooo it goes 15 30 40 once you win the point after 40 thats you got a game on the board so it would be 1-0 to you. Then its the other persons turn to serve so you go through the whole 15 30 40 process again. When the score is 40-40 each its known as deuce so the person serving is trying to save their serve and not let the other person get a break point. If this happens it would be 40-Adv.

A set is when you`ve won that set aha !!! You play 6 games to win a set or in some cases it will go to a tie break so its 7games. So if its 6-6 and no-one has been able to break each others serve it will go to a tiebreak where this decides who wins the first set. The player would take it 7-6 first set. Then you start all over again and begin to play the 2nd set.

Match well you`ve won the match :) lol Match point.. is when a player has won there sets and is serving it out to win the whole match. for example say best of 3 a player only needs to win 2 sets the score could be 6-2 7-5 and so the player has won that match. Or it could go to a 3rd set if both players have managed to win a set score would look like this 6-2 4-6 7-5 !!!

Answer 3

A game in tennis is when you win. Basically, tennis scoring proceeds from love (or zero) to 15 to 30 to 40 to game. As you know, the first score is 15. A score of zero is "love." If the server makes the point, the score is "15-love." If the other player makes the point, the score is "love-15."

A set consists of a number of games (typically at least six), which in turn consist of points. So basically it's the number of games.

A tennis match include a number of sets, typically three for both men's and women's matches, the exception being at the major events (Wimbledon and the Australian, French and US Opens) where the men play best of five sets. :)

A tennis match comprises a number of sets, typically three for both men's and women's matches, the exception being at the major events (Wimbledon and the Australian, French and US Opens) where the men play best of five sets.[23] A set consists of a number of games, and games, in turn, consist of points.

A game consists of a sequence of points played with the same player serving, and is won by the first player to have won at least four points and at least two points more than his opponent. The running score of each game is described in a manner particular to tennis: scores of zero to three points are described as "love" (or zero), "fifteen," "thirty," and "forty" respectively. When at least three points have been scored by each side and the players have the same number of points, the score is "deuce." When at least three points have been scored by each side and a player has one more point than his opponent, the score of the game is "advantage" for the player in the lead. During informal games, "advantage" can also be called "ad in" or "ad out", depending on whether the serving player or receiving player is ahead, respectively. In tournament play, the chair umpire calls the point count (e.g., "fifteen-love") after each point. At the end of a game, the chair umpire also announces the winner of the game and the overall score.

A game point occurs in tennis whenever the player who is in the lead in the game needs only one more point to win the game. The terminology is extended to sets (set point), matches (match point), and even championships (championship point). For example, if the player who is serving has a score of 40-love, he has a triple game point (triple set point, etc.). Game points, set points, and match points are not part of official scoring and are not announced by the chair umpire in tournament play.

A break point occurs if the receiver, not the server, has a game point. It is of importance in professional tennis, since service breaks are rare enough to create a substantial advantage for the receiver in the men's game. The advantage to the server is much less in the women's game, but match analysts like to keep track of service breaks anyway. It may happen that the player who is in the lead in the game has more than one chance to score the winning point, even if his opponent should take the next point(s). For example, if the player who is serving has a score of 15-40, the receiver has a double break point. If the player in the lead wins any of the next two points, that player wins the game. Break points are not announced either.

A set consists of a sequence of games played with service alternating between games, ending when the count of games won meets certain criteria. Typically, a player wins a set when he wins at least six games and at least two games more than his opponent. When each player has won six games a tiebreaker is played. A tiebreaker, played under a separate set of rules, allows one player to win one more game and thus the set, to give a final set score of 7-6. Only in the final sets of matches at the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, Davis Cup, and Fed Cup are tie-breaks not played. A "love" set means that the loser of the set won zero games. For example if the score was 6 to 0, it would be 6 love. (See "tennis terminology" below for names given to unusual endings like the example here.) In tournament play, the chair umpire announces the winner of the set and the overall score.

Matches consist of an odd number of sets, the match winner being the player who wins more than half of the sets. The match ends as soon as this winning condition is met. Some matches may consist of five sets (the winner being the first to win three sets), while most matches are three sets (the winner being the first to win two sets). In tournament play, the chair umpire announces the end of the match with the well-known phrase "Game, set, match" followed by the winning team's name.
