A match point is a point that, if won by the person who has the match point, would result in winning the match, thus the "match point." If someone has a match point, they are one point away from winning a match.
In a scenario where the person who has match point is up 40-0, then the person will have 3 match points (if the opponent wins two points, the person will still have an opportunity to win).

the point scoring system is as follows
15=1pt 30=2pt 40=3pt
so your answer is 40..unless both players have 3points which then is called " Duce" from there you play out until a player wins 2 points in a row
Each rally is considered a point.
The scoring in tennis goes like this:
love-love
love-fifteen
fifteen-fifteen or love-thirty
fifteen-thirty or love-forty
thirty-thirty or the player that had forty in the score love-forty just won the match.
If the score is thirty-forty and the player with thirty wins the point, the score is now forty-forty, or "deuce." To win the game from a score of deuce, a player must win two consecutive points. The scoring would go like this:
forty-forty ("deuce")
add-in (the player serving won the deuce point) or add-out (the player not serving won the deuce point). The score goes from deuce to add and back to deuce as long as it takes for one player to win two consecutive points.
I hope that helps!
