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.

What is the scoring method for short tennis?

Scoring is similar to table tennis. Each turn at serving lasts for four points. A game is won when one player reaches seventeen by a margin of two or better. Deuce and ad are not used: the score continues a normal arithmetic count. A long game might end at 27-25, for example. The number of games to play in a set or match is still undetermined.
