Answer 2

A tennis match has sets, and sets have games, and games have points. A player wins a match by winning the majority of sets - usually two out of three for women, and three out of five for men.

.

A set is won when the player wins 6 games AND the opposing player has won 4 or fewer games. If the score is 6 games to 5, then the players play one more game. At the end of this next game, the score will either by 7 to 5 (the winner of the set having 7 games) or the score will be tied at 6 games each. In the event of a 6-6 game tie, then the set goes into a 12 point tie breaker, in which the player that wins the tie breaker, and the set, has at least 7 points AND has 2 more points than the opponent. If the tie-breaker score is 7-7 or 7-6, the tie breaker continues until one player is 2 points ahead of the other player, and thus wins the tie breaker and the set.

.

A game is won when a player scores 4 or more points AND has two more points than the opponent. If tied, or separated by only one point, the game continues (without tie break) until one player gains two points over the opposing player, and wins the game.

.

The four points in a game are scored 15, 30, 40, and GAME. When both players are tied at 3 or more points, the score is called DUECE. When one player is one point ahead of the other player after 3 or more points, the score is called ADVANTAGE.
