What does the word advantage mean in tennis?

Answer 1

The word advantage meaning in tennis is when both of the team players has gotten 40 points = to 3 points, this creates a "Deuce" and that is simply a tie. Now normally, it goes Love =0, then 15, 30, 40, and Game Point. But when each of the players have a game leading up to each having 40, it's sort of a tie. This is where the advantage comes in. Basically, when ever the server or the receivers, make a point, it will be ad. in or ad. out.

Ad. In = Servers advantage,

Ad. Out = Receivers advantage

Then whomever makes the next point, who has the advantage wins, and if you have the advantage and the other person gets a point, you lose the advantage and go back to deuce. I hope that helps! :D
