Basically, to win you have to win 7 points and have a clear lead of at least two points. So for example, if you are leading 6-5 and you win the next point, you win the tie breaker 7-5. However, if you lose the next point, the score is 6-6 and then to win, you need to win the next two points, to make it 8-6, a lead of two clear points. And so on. scores have been known to go up to 24-22 etc. Also if you want to know, the serving is like this - the person who started serving in the set serves first. S/He serves once, then the opponent serves twice, then they alternate two serves each. If you win a point on your opponents service, this is called a mini break, and after every 6 points, you have to switch sides of the court

What is the correct scoring format for a tennis match?

A tennis match is split into different parts, first games, then sets then the match. A game is one by the the first player to get over 40. The scoring goes as follows: 15, 30, 40 then game win. Unless both players tie on 40 then they must win two points consecutively. First attaining an advantage then a win. Games are played with one player serving throughout then in the next game the next player serves, this continues alternately. You must win 6 games to win a set, unless both players tie on 5 then a player must win 2 games consecutively to reach 7, if it reaches 6 all a tie breaker is played. This involves the players alternately serving 2 times, the player to reach 7 first wins, unless they tie at 6 then a player must win two games in a row. The player who wins the tie breaker wins the set. A tie break is played in all sets at 6 all, except the last one (the third set in women's tennis and the fifth set in the men's game). In the last set, players continue until one secures a two game lead. In women's tennis you must win 2 sets to win the match, in men's a player must win 3 sets. Bit complicated but you get the hang of it pretty sharpish.
