A break in tennis is when the server loses the game to the receiver. A breakpoint is the point of the game which, if the receiver wins the point, will result in the receiver winning the game. Such as if the score was 30-40. The next point would be considered a break point because if the receiver wins the point the receiver will win the game.

A double break point refers to a score of 15-40.

Where the player NOT serving has TWO chances to win that game IF he converts one of those TWO chances.

(Note: the score reflects 15 for player serving and 40 for the player NOT serving)

A triple break point would be 0-40.

A break point would be 30-40.

A service break means that a player has won a game when his or her opponent was serving. A break point is a point when the server is behind and will lose the game if he or she loses that point.

The score is 0 - 40, that is, the receiver needs one point to win (and "break" the serve), so he/she has three chances to score that point.

If the server wins the next point, the score is 15 - 40, and the receiver has two break points, or two chances left.

If the server wins again, the score is 30 - 40, and the receiver has one break point, that is, one chance to break service and win the game.

The advantage of break point is where the server is down 30-40 in points, and the receiver has the chance to win the game (not the entire match, just the single game).
