Badminton is very much like Tennis in that you score by simply having the birdie hit the ground on the other player's side of the field before he or she can hit it back. The main difference is that while Tennis is scored by 15 -> 30 -> 40 -> game, Badminton is most typically scored in incriments of 1.
Tennis has a weird and wonderful way of scoring a game. See below for an explanation of the scoring system.
'The running score in each game is described in a manner peculiar to tennis. Scores of zero to three points are described as "love" (or "zero"), "fifteen", "thirty", and "forty", respectively. The origins of the fifteen, thirty, and forty scores are believed to be medieval French. It is possible that a clock face was used on court, with a quarter move of the hand to indicate a score of fifteen, thirty, and forty-five. When the hand moved to sixty, the game was over.'
'Another theory is that the scoring nomenclature came from the French game jeu de paume (a precursor to tennis that substituted the hand for a racquet). Jeu de paume was very popular before the French Revolution, with more than 1000 courts in Paris alone. The traditional court was 90ft in total with 45ft on each side. When the server scored, he/she moved forward 15ft. If he/she scored again, he/she would move another 15ft. If he/she scored a third time, he/she could only move 10ft closer.'

serve?
No. If the server wins the point at deuce, it is advantage-in for the server. If the server loses the point after deuce it is advantage-out.
The legal serve where the opponent fails to touch the tennis ball is called 'ACE'.
point is a point but point is a point
If at any point in the game where the receiving team has a break point (or Advantage in Ad-Scoring after a deuce), then it is called a break point.
It is called double-fault when you miss both of your serves. You lose a point then.
Its also called pickleball, its played with a whiffleball and wooden paddles and you hit the ball over a tennis net.
The point of tennis is to keep the ball within bounds on the opposite side of the net from yourself, and to be the last person to do so.
the strings in a tennis racquet are simply called "strings".
You lose the point and your opponent wins the point.
Depends on what the call was. If your opponent hits the ball and they call it good, you challenge it and it really was out, you automatically win the point. If it really was in, they get the point. If you hit the ball and its called out, you challenge it, and it was in, the point is replayed. If it really was out, you lose the point.
Deuce in tennis is when both the opponents, doubles, or singles, have "40" points in which is called deuce. After the deuce point, the match is either over, or you go into "add" scoring.
