п»їA Simple Introduction to Tennis Scoring for Beginners.
Learn the Basics for Playing a Tennis Match.
Bob Thomas/Getty Images.
Learning how to keep track of the score in a tennis match is not as difficult as it may seem. To put it simply:
Four points wins the game Six games wins the set Two (or, on occasion, three) sets wins the match.
But learning how to tally the points—and to keep track of the score during a fast-paced match—can seem daunting if you are a beginner. Read on, and you'll understand and keep up with the game in no time.
Starting a Game.
If you win a coin toss or a spin of the racquet, you get to choose whether you serve or receive the serve. If you choose to serve, your opponent gets to pick which end of the court to start on. This may seem like a small concession, but if the sun is shining in your eyes, the starting position can definitely influence the outcome of the game.
To serve, you position yourself at the right side of the back of the court, which is called the baseline. If you serve first, your opponent must return the ball after exactly one bounce into any part of the singles section of your court. You and your opponent then continue to return the ball back and forth—which is known as a volley—until either one of you misses the ball, the ball bounces more than once on one side of the court, or the ball is hit out of bounds. If you miss, or your shot bounces or goes out of bounds, your opponent wins the point, and vice versa.
Scoring Points.
If you win the first point, you must announce the score at your next serve: "15–love." Love is equal to zero, and 15 equals one point. The server -- in this case, you -- always announces his or her own score first. Additional points are counted in increments of 15 up to two points, then the next point is scored as 10—yes, we know it doesn't make any sense, but it's the way the sport works.
You will continue to serve until someone wins the game. So, if your opponent happens to win the next point, you will announce "15–all" before your next serve, meaning you and your opponent are tied. If your opponent wins the next point as well, you would announce "15–30." You will continue to serve until one of you wins the game.
Two-Point Advantage.
So what constitutes a win in a game of tennis? Simple: one of you has to win by two points. Say your opponent wins the point after you are up 40–30, the score would then be tied, and you would announce: "40–all," otherwise known as "deuce." Now you continue to play until one of you has a two-point advantage and wins the game.
On televised games, this is the point at which you'll notice that the scoreboard changes. Points are no longer calculated. Instead, players either have the "advantage" (i.e., are one point away from two points), or they are tied in a "deuce."
That's why some games seem to go on forever. Until one player achieves a two-point advantage, the game will go on. and on. But, that's also what makes tennis exciting. Once you have won six games, you've won a set. But, wait, you're still not finished.
Starting a New Set.
If the previous set ended with an odd-numbered total of games, you and your opponent switch sides of the court to begin the new set. You switch ends after every odd game through each set. At the start of a new set, in the above example, you served first. So, your opponent would get to serve to start the new set.
In men's professional tennis, players generally must win three out of five sets to win a match.
In women's professional tennis, players generally must win two out of three sets to win the match. If you're a beginner, do yourself a favor: Whether you're male or female, decide that the victor will be the player who wins two out of three sets. Your tired feet—and potential tennis elbow—will thank you.
Correct score betting.
A correct score betting market lists the possible final scores for a particular sporting fixture. Odds are assigned to each of these. The odds roughly reflect the statistical chances of the game or match ending with the score in question.
Punters bet on the scores they think will be on the final scoreboard. Because the odds on offer are so high, it’s usually possible to bet on several different correct score options and still earn an overall profit if one of the bets wins.
When is correct score betting offered?
Correct score betting is most often associated with football betting. However, it may be offered on any sport in which scores are low enough to make it practical for bookmakers to provide odds for all the possible score outcomes. This includes sports like tennis, squash and hockey. Correct score betting tends to offer much higher odds than regular match betting markets.
Football examples.
Example 1: Chelsea takes on Barcelona in the Champions League. A bookmaker offers a selection of odds in the correct score market, ranging from odds of 10/1 for a 1-0 win to Chelsea to odds of 500/1 for a 10-0 win to Barcelona. A punter predicts that the match will be won 2-1 by Chelsea, an option that’s priced by the bookmaker at 11/2. The final score of the match is 2-1 to Barcelona, so the bet loses.
Example 2: France plays Italy at the European Championships. A bookmaker offers odds ranging from 5/1 for a 1-1 draw to 500/1 for a 10-0 win to Italy. After researching the form of both sides, a punter decides to bank on the match producing a 1-1 draw. The final score of the match is indeed 1-1, so the punter’s bet is paid out at odds of 5/1.
Correct score tennis betting.
In tennis, correct score betting is usually offered on the outcome of a specific set. Some bookmakers also offer in-running betting on the score for a specific game. Set betting is another variation of correct score betting. In this case, you bet on the number of sets that will be won by the match winner versus the number won by the match loser. Correct score betting in tennis is worth exploring – a good understanding of the form of the participants and their recent results means that one can predict set scores with some degree of accuracy.
Example : Andy Murray takes on Rafael Nadal in a tennis match. Odds are offered on the full possible selection of results for the third set. A punter bets on the set being a close one, and takes the 15/1 odds offered on the set being won 7-5 by Nadal. Nadal wins the set 7-5, so the bet is paid out at 15/1.
When to bet on correct scores.
Correct score betting is always a high-risk option, which is why the odds offered on these markets are so good. However, there are times when these types of bets can be made with a little more accuracy. Generally, it’s not advisable to place a single correct score bet on a market. Instead place a selection of correct score bets, spreading your stake around while ensuring that you’ll still make an overall profit if one of your bets wins.
For example, say Chelsea is due to play Barcelona. Odds of 11/2 are offered on a score 2-1 to Chelsea, odds of 12/1 are offered on a 2-0 score to Chelsea and odds of 10/1 are offered on a score of 1-1. You bet ВЈ10 on all three options for a total stake of ВЈ30. If any one of these bets wins, you'll make an overall profit.
What to take into account.
Factors you should take into account when considering a correct score bet include:
Form: Especially in football, teams tend to get stuck in grooves and will consistently win matches by a one-goal margin or feature in low-scoring fixtures. If you see this sort of trend emerge, you can narrow down your betting options. Relative strength: It’s important to assess the relative strength of both sides; results between equally matched sides will tend to fall into a narrower margin than those between a strong side and a weaker one. Weather: The weather typically affects the number of scores in a football match. Look out for matches played in poor weather conditions because these are likely to produce lower scores, and this narrows the margin of likely final scores.
Why Is Tennis Scored So Weirdly?
All sports have their own vocabularies, the shorthand lingo to communicate intricacies of rules and how play proceeds. But usually the scoring can at least be counted on to be fairly straightforward. Not so much for tennis.
For the unfamiliar, tennis starts with both players at zero, called love: “Love-all.” One person scores: 15 to love. The server’s score is said first, the receiver’s second. The other now scores, and they’re tied at “15-all.” The next point is 30, then 40, and the following point wins that game. If they tie at 40 it’s called a deuce. From that tie the next person to get a point has the advantage, but generally has to win by two points — that is, to score twice in a row — to win the game. And it doesn’t stop there. Six of these games make a set, and the set must be won by two games or it goes to a tiebreaker. After the set is over, it repeats. To win the whole match requires either winning best of five sets or best of three sets, depending on the competition.
As tennis fans get ready to watch stars like Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Naomi Osaka play at the U.S. Open, those less familiar with the game may once again ponder an inevitable question: Why count this way?
Disappointingly, the origins of pretty much every part of the scoring system are a mystery. “I don’t think anybody really knows how it started or why it developed how it did,” says Elizabeth Wilson, who wrote Love Game: A History of Tennis, from Victorian Pastime to Global Phenomenon .
“There are various theories, all sorts of romantic theories have been built up about it.” says Wilson. “That’s partly what makes tennis into a kind of romantic game, because it had all this history that isn’t really history, it’s legend more than actual history. Some of the ideas about how it began are quite fanciful.”
The Points.
Despite its complexity, the tennis scoring system has been stable since the Victorian period.
The modern game of tennis traces back to a medieval game called jeu de paume , which began in 12th century France. It was initially played with the palm of the hand, and rackets were added by 16th century. With its strong association with pageant traditions of the French court, Wilson says, tennis was highly stylized from the beginning. Over a course of the next few centuries the game saw periods of incredible popularity, with more than 1,000 tennis courts in Paris in the 16th century. Though it’s well known for being beloved among royalty (Henry VIII was a notable and avid player, and the French revolutionaries’ tennis court oath was made on an indoor court at Versailles), it was also enjoyed among commoners and monks.
Records of scoring systems related to today’s date back almost to the beginning of the sport, but in these years the scoring was 15, 30, 45 — the math of which at least makes more sense than the modern system, as each increment was 15 points. A poem written a few years after the 1415 battle of Agincourt counts up the points — 15, 30, 45 — in a tennis game between English King Henry V and the French Dauphin. Charles d’Orléans composed a ballad around 1439 while imprisoned in an English castle after the battle of Agincourt, in which he compared life with a game of tennis and uses the French word for 45, playing on the number as both his age and the score in a tennis match. A 1505 tennis match at Windsor castle gave one player a handicap of 15. Around the 1520s Erasmus wrote a dialogue between two tennis players where one says “we’ve got 30, we’ve got 45.” Though one 16th-century English text did use 40 for a tennis score, a treatise from a few decades earlier indicated that French students were simply shortening the word “45” to “40” when they described the game (and their teacher corrected that it should be 45), writes Heiner Gillmeister, linguistics scholar at Bonn University in Germany and sports historian, who authored the thoroughly researched Cultural History of Tennis in 1998.

Thank you!
But the reasons behind this counting method were obscure even then. (There’s plenty to speculate about where the English word tennis originates, too, but it definitely emerged sometime in the 15th century.) In the 1520s, for example, one Jan van den Berghe had questions: “What was not explained was how players can win fifteen points for a single stroke. It is, after all, a little curious that they count or win more than one point for a single stroke… Why is not one point given for one stroke, and two for two strokes?” Over the centuries, various theories have relied on everything from complicated multiplication to the history of scoring systems in other games to measurements of distances between lines of demarcation on early courts, but no definite answer could be found.
One of the most common suggestions, Wilson says, is that the progression is related to minutes on a clock. “It’s been suggested that the monks would look at the clock, the 4 points and somehow felt that was a good way of scoring,” she says, “and then 45 became 40, though nobody knows why.” Clocks were rapidly developing in the Middle Ages and division into a rough quarter hour was imaginable. This theory’s detractors point out that minute hands on clocks were only introduced in the late 1500s and became common even later.
The Terms.
As for “love,” the word has been used since the 1700s to mean “nothing” and is also used in a variety of other games from racket sports to cards (including bridge and whist). But how it came to mean this is also unexplained.
One often repeated option traces the etymology to the French l’oeuf , meaning egg, an object the same shape as the number 0. But there is no indication the French ever used l’oeuf in relation to tennis scoring, writes American tennis player Malcolm D. Whitman in his 1932 book Tennis: Origins and Mysteries , and they didn’t write scores down, so the visual association wouldn’t cue the egg comparison. Gillmeister also writes that “love” is not how that type of loan word would be modified into English — Latin’s bovem became the French boeuf and turned into beef in English, so l’oeuf would likely have become something sounding more like leaf if that theory had held true. Gillmeister has a different loan-word idea. Perhaps it’s from the Dutch or Flemish lof , meaning honor, which would have made sense if players saw a tennis match as akin to a battle. (“Deuce” is a clearer loan word — deux is French for “two” — but the mechanism or timing of that transition is less clear.)
Or maybe it’s not a loan word at all: phrases along the lines of “neither for love nor money” had already entered the lexicon, according to Gillmeister. So the idea that a person with “love” had no money could be a plausible option as to why that might be the word for having no points in a game that was a frequent subject of wagers.
The Side Effects.
By the 1800s, tennis’ popularity was in decline. The game we know as tennis today grew out of an adaptation called lawn tennis to distinguish it from the older indoor version, “real” or royal tennis. (In the U.S. that older version goes by “court tennis.”) In the 1870s, Major Walter Clopton Wingfield published rules for that new game, and a few others developed a similar game elsewhere in England at the time. Played outdoors, the court was hourglass shape and points were counted one by one. But when the All England Croquet Club set a field aside for the new game and held a championship in 1877 — the first Wimbledon Championship — they combined the new and old rules. Part of that change was a reversion to the “real” or medieval tennis scoring system: 15, 30, 40.
Lawn tennis, which was associated with the upper classes, “could afford to be more ornate, have these refinements, these quirks,” Wilson says. Even as competition increased, it remained a social spectacle. Those associations “perpetuate the retention of this weird scoring system,” says Wilson. “It becomes part of the glamour, people who watch tennis, who know tennis, can understand the scoring system, which is a bit obscure. That gives it more cachet, chutzpah, more glamour again in a funny way.”
The rules for scoring have remained almost entirely static ever since, despite some attempts to simplify it.
In 1966, for example TIME quoted James Van Alen, then president of the tennis Hall of Fame, as blaming the scoring system for the fact that “the players outnumber the spectators” in American tennis. Perhaps, the story mused, “the International Lawn Tennis Federation, which controls amateur tennis, will fall out of love with love.”
As it turns out no such luck, though one part of Van Alen’s proposed revised scoring system — tiebreakers — was added in the 1970s.
“Somewhere in this vast, great nation, there undoubtedly is a strong, agile, fiercely competitive youngster who could be the best tennis player the world has ever seen. This youngster himself may never know it. Or even care,” TIME observed in 1967. “Little that surrounds the game of tennis today is likely to appeal to him much. For a starter, there is the scoring system.”
Betting on Tennis (Correct Score Sets)
I like to bet on tennis games because there are fewer factors that are decisive for this sport in my view. In this sport there are only two possible outcomes that boosts chances of winning. You can’t say is same thing in soccer (2 way bets) when you play asian handicap because strong teams that have big handicap (AH -1.5 , AH -1.25) are not always interested to win by a big margin. Tennis players are interested to finish their games as fast as possible and rest. You depend just on one player to win you bet not on an entire team. Is better to bet on big tournaments where players have bigger motivation to win.
To help me decide easier which bets to take I use these sites:
ATP Tour Steve G Tennis WTA Tour Match Stat and tournament official site.
My strategy :
My bets are usually correct score sets : 2-0 (or 3-0 in big tournaments). To do that bet I select games from bookmaker’s offer.
Step 1) I like to bet on strong favourites to win with straight odds about 1.20.
1.50 (but odds aren’t main factor for choosing my bet) and I select from offer games with indicated odds ;
Step 3) now exclusion part: at first step I selected almost blindly games (only looking at odd). From games I selected at step 1, I check whether all favourite players ( favourite is made by bookmaker ) are strong enough on surface that is played.
— I exclude players with poor performances on playing surface (false favourite): I check winnig /losing record on this surface and current form (he is losing/winning lately ? winning gives to a player peace);
— search for serve percentages , average serving speed or returning bals percentage won (he is a fighter)
Odds for straight win were about 1.2.
1.5 but if that player is really favourite he should be able to win in straight sets : 2-0 ( or 3-0 ) and odds for correct score are bigger: from 1.2 at straight win , at least 1.6 for 2-0 ; from 1.4.
1.5 at straight win , at least 1.9.
Money management : fixed amount of money bet evey time. Check bookmaker tennis rules. Sometimes players are injured and they have to retire. Is better to place bets on bookmakers with “ match completed ” rule.
My statistic (average) from 78 games with 2-0 and 3-0 bets: 53 winning bets, average odds 1.87 25 losing bets, average odds 1.95.

Scoring Points & Tennis Sets.
Powered by USTA Officiating.
Tennis is a sport where “love” means zero, and the scoring system is different for games, sets and matches. We get it: that's confusing. Thanks to the USTA Officiating department, it doesn't have to be.
This handy guide will teach you the basics of scoring, and playing the sport for a lifetime, with helpful tips and buzzwords that you may want to know before you take to the court. Mastering the proper terminology may not help your forehand or serve, but at least in conversation, you can hang with anyone.
THE BASICS.
OVERVIEW.
Tennis is a game played on a rectangular-shaped court, which can be one of many surfaces. It is either played with two players (singles match), or four players (doubles match). Players stand on opposite sides of the net and use a stringed racquet to hit the ball back and forth to each other.
GAMEPLAY.
Each player or team has a maximum of one bounce after the ball has been hit by their opponent to return the ball over the net and within the boundaries of the court. In wheelchair tennis, players get a maximum of two bounces. When a player then fails to return the ball into the correct court, the opponent wins a point.
The aim of tennis is to win enough points to win a game, enough games to win a set, and enough sets to win a match.
STARTING THE MATCH.
Before warming up with your opponent, either player or team will spin their racquet and the winner of the spin will have some options to choose from. They can choose one of these 3 options:
To serve or receive The side of the court Or defer their choice to their opponent --but the opponent cannot defer back.
Once the winner of the toss chooses one of the options above, the opponent has the remaining choice.
SCORING A GAME.
POINT SYSTEM.
Tennis has a different point system than most sports. Before we go into detail, here is your guide to scoring a game:
0 points= Love 1 point = 15 2 points= 30 3 points= 40 Tied score= All 40-40 = Deuce Server wins deuce point = Ad-In Receiver wins deuce point = Ad-Out.
WHO WINS?
In order to win the game, a player must win at least four points. If you are up 40-30, 40-15 or 40-love, and win one more point, you win the game. If the score is tied in a game or set, you use the term “ all ” when announcing the score. For example, if you and your opponent have both won two points in the game, the score would be 30-all.
WHAT IS A DEUCE?
The only time this is different is when both you and your opponent have won 4 points each and the score is 40-40. This is called deuce . When the score reaches deuce, one player or team will need to win at least two points in a row to win the game. When the server wins the deuce point, it is called Ad-In, but when they lose the deuce point, it is called Ad-Out. If the team with the advantage (Ad-In or Ad-Out) wins another point, they win the game, or it goes back to deuce.
SWITCHING ENDS.
Players or teams switch ends of the court on odd games. This means that after the first game is complete, they switch sides, as well as every two games after that.
TYPES OF SETS.
Now let’s look at how many games you need to win a set. There are two main ways of scoring a set.
ADVANTAGE SET.
In an advantage set, a player or team needs to win six games, by two, to win the set. This means that there is no tiebreak game played at 6-6. The set continues until one player/team wins by two games.
TIEBREAK SET.
In a tiebreak set, a player or team needs to win six games wins a set. If the score gets to 5-5 (5-all), one player must win the next two games to win the set. If the score reaches 6-6 (6-all) in the set, a tiebreak game is played.
SCORING A TIEBREAK GAME.
In a tiebreak game, the next person who was due to serve will start the tiebreak game, and serve one point to the deuce side of the court. The following two points will then be served by the opponent starting on the ad side. In doubles, the player on the opposing team due to serve will serve these points.
Players or teams switch ends of the court every six points (e.g. when the score is 4-2), and to score this tiebreak game, you use, “zero” “one”, “two”, “three”, etc. The first player or team to win seven points , by two, wins the tiebreak. This means the score can end up being very high (e.g. 15-13) or as low as 7-0 through 7-5.
Whoever wins the tiebreak game, wins the set by a score of 7-6.
