Best Answer

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.
