Scoring In Tennis
A match is scored in games and sets. In each game a player begins with no score (love). His first point scores 15, his second 30, his third 40, and his fourth wins the game unless there is a "duece", the next point won is scored as an advantage to the player who won it, and if he wins the following point he wins the game.
Should his opponent redress the balance the score returns to duece, and so on, until the end of a game.
The first player to win 6 games wins the set, unless each player has won five games, when play continues until one player is 2 games ahead.
