Tennis Scoring

By: Jonny Bowden

Here's an imaginary game played between two players, John and Susan:

(John serves) 1st point: John wins score: 15-Love
2nd point: John wins score: 30-Love
3rd point: Susan wins score: 30-15
4th point: Susan wins score: 30-30
5th point: Susan wins score: 40-30
6th point: John wins score: deuce (40-40)
7th point: John wins score: advantage John (since John is the server, this is called "advantage in")
8th point: Susan wins score: deuce
9th point: Susan wins score: advantage Susan (since John is the server, this is called "advantage out")
10th point: Susan wins score: game (Susan has won by the two points necessary to win the game)< br>
At this point, Susan would become the server, and the second game would proceed.
