A tie-break, be a set tie-break or match tie-break, is treated like another game. If you were serving and won the last game to make the score 6-6 games, then your oppoennt would start serving the tie-break. When your opponent starts serving the tie-break, they only serve for one point. Then you serve for two points , then they serve for two points.... You switch sides when the score can be divisible by 6, ex. 3-3, 5-1, 6-6, 12-12....
In tennis, a tiebreaker is used when neither player can win a 6-game set by two games. The first remedy is to allow the opponents to play a seventh game, if doing so can possibly result in a two-game difference (7-5). If the extra game results in a tied score of 6-6, the opponents must play a tiebreaker to determine who wins the set.
Players use a standard tiebreaker of 7 points to decide a set, meaning the first person to score 7 points, by a difference of at least two points over the other player, wins the tied set. In reality, the score often goes well beyond 7 points if the two players are competitive and closely matched. The set score is then recorded as 7-6, with the actual number of points each player won during the tiebreaker shown in parenthesis. Tiebreakers follow an unusual pattern of play: The first person serves from the deuce position, or the right side of the court. After the first point, the first player gives the ball to the second player, who serves from the ad position, or the left side of the court. The second player then moves to the right side and serves again. After the first serve, each opponent is allowed two serves before exchanging the ball. Opponents swap ends of the court every 6 points until someone has won.
In women's tennis, and in men's tennis below pro-level, a match consists of winning two of three sets. If one player wins two consecutive sets, the game ends without playing the third set. If each player wins one set, they are said to have "split sets," and either play a third set for the win, or go directly to a super tiebreaker. The club or tournament director decides which option to use in official play; otherwise, the opponents decide.
A super tiebreaker is played the same as a standard tiebreaker, except that one opponent must win at least 10 points, with a difference of two points over the other player. The result of a third set super tiebreaker is recorded as 1-0, with the actual number of points each player won during the tiebreaker shown in parenthesis.
To win a tiebreak in tennis you must win a game up to 7 points, win by 2. The first point is served by the player who served first in the set. Then the next 2 points are served up by the opponent. Then the tennis players will continue to serve 2 each until one player wins. Players switch sides of the tennis court everytime 6 points have been played.
When does a tiebreak occur?
To win a set, a player must have at least 6 games and be ahead by 2. Eg. you can win a set by 6-4 but not 6-5. If a game score of 6-6 is reached a tie break is played. A tie break doesn't occur in final set where players keep playing until someone is ahead by two games.
Score
To win a tie break a player must have 7 points and be ahead by two.
Serving
The first to serve is NOT the player who served last in the previous set.
Server serves once, then the opponent serves once and then they swap. After that it's twice each until there is a winner.
Every time the sum of the two players' scores is 6 (eg. 4-2, 3-3, 6-0) the players swap court sides.
If you mean when the score in a single game reaches 40-40, then it is called a deuce.
If you mean when the score of a set reaches 6-6 games, then the following game will be a tie-breaker (of various point totals, but professionals use 7 points).
In singles: Ok lets say player 1 has been serving and the score is 5-6 to player 2 and player 1 wins that game and the score becomes 6 all thy have to play a tie breaker. So player 2 will serve from the forehand side on the court (to the right), once, that is the first serve, then you change servers, then player 1 will serve starting on the backhand side (to the left), they will serve twice and point 2 and 3 will be played. Then they will change servers and player 2 will have 2 serves this time starting on the backhand side (besides from the first server, you will always have your turn serving on the back hand side first). This continues until 6 points have been played in total, so the score might be 4 to player 1 and 2 to player 2 so that equals 6 and they would change sides and continue as usual, if the scores get to 6 all, you would change sides again (change every 6 points) and the winner of the tie breaker (first to get 7 points) is the winner of the match.

How can a set in tennis be 7 to 5 and 7 to 6 in the same match?
If a set gets to 5 to 5, then they play two more games. If someone wins both games, he wins the set 7 to 5. If each player wins one of the two games, then the score is 6 to 6 and they play a tiebreaker (first to seven points, but you have to win by two), and the winner of the tiebreaker wins the set. When you win a set in a tiebreaker it basically counts as one game, so you win 7 to 6.
