Can you describe the scoring system in tennis and explain how it works?

Answer 1

In tennis, the scoring system is based on points, games, and sets. A player wins a point by hitting the ball over the net and into the opponent's court in a way that the opponent cannot return it. The first player to win four points wins a game, with the points being scored as 15, 30, 40, and then game point. If both players reach 40-40, it is called deuce, and a player must win two consecutive points to win the game. A player must win six games to win a set, and typically a match is best of three sets or best of five sets.
