In a single game, the score would be 30-40 (where the server has 30 and the receiver has 40). This is known as a break point.
the receiver waits for the server to serve the ball
If the receiver had hit the ball but then they had hit it out, it would be the servers point. Because they did not hit it out. [I'm currently taking a tennis class and basically asked the same question].
The receiver must stand diagonally opposite to the server. For example, if the server is on the right side (thus serving to the server's left service box), then the receiver must stand to the receiver's right to be diagonally opposite to that of the server.
love in tennis means you have not scored any points (0)
No, because the receiver isn't ready. Both players have to be ready to start a match :)
The advantage of break point is where the server is down 30-40 in points, and the receiver has the chance to win the game (not the entire match, just the single game).
Love is used for 0 points scored
The name "tennis" is thought to derive from the French word tenez, which means "take heed" — a warning from the server to the receiver.
At the end of the first game the receiver shall become the server and the server, the receiver. Players will switch sides after each odd numbered game, i.e. 1, 3, 5.
A break in tennis is when the server loses the game to the receiver. A breakpoint is the point of the game which, if the receiver wins the point, will result in the receiver winning the game. Such as if the score was 30-40. The next point would be considered a break point because if the receiver wins the point the receiver will win the game.
The score is 0 - 40, that is, the receiver needs one point to win (and "break" the serve), so he/she has three chances to score that point.If the server wins the next point, the score is 15 - 40, and the receiver has two break points, or two chances left.If the server wins again, the score is 30 - 40, and the receiver has one break point, that is, one chance to break service and win the game.
15-40 a possible score of a single game in tennis (there are 6 games to a set usually). The server's score is always called first, and the player with the 40 only needs one more point to win the game (but not the match), and the server with 15 needs two more points to tie with the other player. Whenever the receiver has a chance to win the game and the server is down in points, it is called a break point.
