Matches are won by playing either the best of 3 or the best of 5 sets.
If we use 'best of 3' in singles as our example, the first person to win 2 sets wins the match.
A set is ordinarily played til the first person reaches 6 games with a two game advantage - eg. 6 games to 4, or (say) 6-3, etc. The first 2 sets are usually played as "tie-break" sets ... which means that if the score reaches 6-6 (both have won 6 games), then a 'tie-break' game is played, and the winner of this game will decide the winner of that set. The tie-break is a point-by-point game: the first to reach 7 points with a 2-point advantage wins the game and the set. If the score reaches 7-6 in points in the game, the game continues until one player gains a 2-point advantage.
Each game is played as each player commences with a score that is called, "Love". Point-wise it means that player has scored no points yet.
When a player wins his first point for that game, the score is called as, '15', and the server's score is called first. So, if the server wins the first point of that game, the score called is: 15-Love. The 2nd point won by a player is allocated another 15 points : so his score will be called as 30; as he wins the 3rd point, his score becomes 40. When he wins the 4th point, he is awarded the game.
If the score reaches 40-40, it is referred to as "Deuce", and the game is not won by a player until he gains that 2-point advantage in the game.

Tennis is scored the way it is to determine a clear winner based on points won during a match. The scoring system, with points like "15," "30," and "40," dates back to the origins of the game in the 19th century. Players must win at least four points to win a game, and matches are typically best of three or five sets. This scoring system allows for a fair and competitive way to determine the winner of a tennis match.
In tennis, points are scored by winning rallies. The scoring system used in the game is based on a series of points, games, and sets. Players earn points by winning rallies, with the first player to reach four points winning a game. A player must win at least six games to win a set, and typically must win two out of three sets to win a match.
