This video sucks ass

— @toobahashmi3454

Are you curious what does a break point or rules for tie break mean?

In short:

I hope tennis on command didn't make money with this video because it would be so undeserved. It looks like no one understood the explanation.

A key aspect is that points are always counted from the point of view of the server in a game. So If you see a tennis ball, yellow circle, or line or arrow near a players name, that means they are serving and the points are from their perspective.

We have points that make up a game. Games making up a set and sets making up a match. For points we have 0 or love as its called, 15, 30, 40. If the server wins the first point, its 15 - 0. If the opponent wins the second, 15 -15. If the opponent wins another, its 15 -30. If player one wins the next, its 30 - 30. If again the next one, its 40 - 30. After 40, if the server wins, they win the game. If there is deuce, 40-40, and the server wins a point, that will make the score A - 40. If the server wins another point, wins the game.

Bro what

There are 6 games to be won in a set where the winner needs to win by at least 2 games. If there is a tie at 5-5, it means that players need to compete for another 2 games and whoever wins that two game, making the set to be 7-5 wins the set. If both players won 6 games in a set and its 6-6, a tie break is introduced to the set to close it quicker than using the game scoring method. In the tie break, the first player to win 7 points, by two, wins the tie break and that set as a result. If both players have 6 points in the tie break, it continues until someone wins two points consecutively.

When they say a match is played for best of 3 sets, that means that whoever wins 2 sets first, wins the match so there can be a maximum of 3 sets. Grand Slam men’s singles and doubles matches differ in two ways from the rest of the matches in tennis.

Doesn't Love come from the French word for egg, since zero looks like an egg? Tennis is a French game

— @YashKMusic

One, matches are played for 3 won sets or the best of 5 sets, making it a maximum of 5 sets in a match. And two, for some time, if the score is 6-6 in set number 5, there is no tie break, but a player only wins that set and the match if they win by 2 games. There are various limitations for the 5th set tie break in the Grand Slams.

@WHEATFIELDINSURANCEAGENCY

Love, 15, 30, 40, game. Does this make any sense to you? Whoever made this scoring system must have been onto something.

@SorakaOTP462

fah naw

@uhhhhhhhidkk

This has to be the most nonsensical jackoff scoring system in all of sports. I thought American football scoring was retatarded until now.

@ncnotthebees2716

@ye5021

I understand/lost I can get it if he slow down while explaining

@Ms.PSnazzy

I'm fine with the 15-30-40-deuce advantage stuff. After that I'll just wait for a lot of cheering and the two players heading for the net then have my own Yeah or Aww alone.

@rebeccaking2372

Brus explanation skills are as like as my English teacher

@Ash-bx1sc

I'm sorry I asked!

@noraa-dog

@argentto93

@davidcisneros1429

The real question is WHY?!?!?!

@sheilahmercer1637

0-15-30-40?! So why not 45?!

@raminkaramali4689

I genuinely can’t tell if people are doing a bit or are actually confused lmao.
This really isn’t confusing.
Wimbledon is on atm and so for me, watching the games and going to videos like these, allow you to learn/understand way quicker.
Great vid!!

Simplified:

[Points determine matches. Matches determine sets. Sets determine who wins the game].

[Points go as follows]: 0 (which is called love), 15, 30 40. Points are read from the server's point of view. If the server is at love and their opponent is at 30, it would be read "love, 30". If both players have 40 points within a match, this is called 'Deuce'. At Deuce, a player has to win by two points in a row to secure the match win.

[Matches]: A player has to win 6 matches by a margin of 2 in order to win the set. If the match score is 5-5, the first to win the next two wins the set. If the score goes to 6-6, this is called a tiebreaker*. In a tiebreaker, points are counted by 1 point rather than the [15, 30, 40]. To win a tie breaker, you have to secure 7 points and win by a margin of 2. So if both players are at 9-9 in this tie breaker match. One of the players has to win 2 points in a row to make the score 11-9 in order to win the tiebreaker match. However some tournaments don't use the match score 6-6 to determine a tiebreaker match and may choose some alternative system [the Wimbledon chooses a tied *match score of 12-12 to begin the tiebreaker match].

[Sets]: The scoring system mentioned above determines sets. In the four Grand Slam tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open), a format of Best of 5 sets are used, and for the main ATP Tour and associated tournaments, they used a Best of 3 format. For a Best of 5, the first to win 3 sets wins the match, while in a Best of 3 game, the first to win 2 sets wins the match.

[Again]: Points determine matches. Matches determine sets. Sets determine who wins the overall match.

@alexander75x

My ADD brain is so confused.

@detective___mcnulty

@Jasmine8496

@payalprakash9170

No, a player can also win a game by winning by winning 3 consecutive points.

@timc5768

Blerns ball

@accidentals_hacks

Nauseating rules and voice over

@tomokogaming8968

Why is it so complicated??!!

@Ingrid-AfD

@MightyHex

🎾🎾🎾🎾

@alfredogallegos-dw1bp

Left with more questions then I came with

@OJD214

i have a game today, wish me luck

@puremuskratt

I again & again wath to understand point systen...but no imptove anymore

@SmartChapai

Correction: You say ALL when the score is tied, except 40-40 which is DEUCE.

15-15 = "15 All"
30-30 = "30 All"
40-40 = "Deuce"
Same for games:
"2 games All" means both players have won 2 games.
"3 games All" and so on.

This is a HUGE tennis rule not included in this video!! 😳

@IGuess...

Thank you for your video!

@유튜버다

@sridevipolisetty8797

Why not 1, 2, 3?

@ezOqekuRitusohI

Why cant they make it simple like badminton…… you get a point….you accumulate points and you win !
What was so hard about it ?

@amangill7547

Anyone playing in 5 minutes against their competitive cousins and don't want to sound dumb?

@mrh_himself

Needlessly obtuse.

@ThootenTootinTabootin

"loosing" huh?

@TheGeek27

Wait tie break ends the scoring by one of the players winning a point (7) but also has to win by 2 points? I’m confused
