How To Score A Tennis Tie-break
| Sport : Tennis If the score in a set of tennis becomes 6 - 6, then a tie-break is played to produce a winner (unless it is a long final set, in which case the match continues until one player wins by two clear games). In a tie-break, the aim is to reach 7 points by two clear points. The person who served last in the set receives the first point. From there, each player has two consecutive servers in a row, switching each two points. After every six points played, the players swap ends. If the match reaches 6 - 6, then from there the tie-break continues until one player is two points ahead. Hence, a tie-break can last from 7 points (7 - 0 win) to potentially going on forever. It has been known for tie-breaks to go on until the players have each scored well over 20 points, and can constitute almost a full set of tennis!!!
