Each opponent begins the match with a score of "love," which means 0 points. After scoring a point (by the other opponent missing a shot, etc.), your score moves from love to 15; then 15 to 30; then 30 to 40; and after scoring another point past 40, you win, which is "game."
If both opponents, however, reach the score 40 at the same time, it's called "deuce;" there are two options here:
- the recipient picks the side they wish to receive the ball on, and whoever wins the point wins that game or,
- the server serves both sides, and to win the game, one player must win two points in a row.
Going further, games make up sets, and sets make up matches. Sets can be composed of different amounts of games, and matches can be composed of different amounts of sets. After winning the match, the phrase "game, set & match" is usually announced for the winner.
If Both opponents have the same score, i.e. 15, than you would call out 15 all
