Introduction
Learning how to keep track of tennis scores is a valuable skill for any tennis fan. Tennis is a fast-paced sport with a lot of action, and it can be difficult to keep up with the score if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Here is a quick and easy guide to keeping track of tennis scores. With a little practice, you’ll be keeping score like a pro in no time!
The Traditional Scoring System
The traditional scoring system is the one that most people are familiar with. It is used in all professional tournaments. Under this system, a match is typically played to the best of three or five sets. A set is won by the first player to win six games, with a margin of two games. For example, if the score reaches 6-4, the set is won by the first player to reach 7 points. If the score becomes 6-5, then it becomes a “tie-break” set, and the first player to win seven points wins the set.
If a player wins a set, they are said to have “won” that number of “games”. So if Player A wins a 5-set match 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(7), 6-7(5), 6-3 – they have won three games.
The New Scoring System
The new scoring system is simple. The game starts with a score of 0-0. When a player wins a point, they score a point. The first player to four points wins the game, unless the score is tied at three points apiece, in which case the player who scores the next point wins the game.
This may seem like a minor change, but it has major implications for how the game is played. For one thing, it means that players can no longer just hold serve and win games easily. They have to be aggressive and go for winners if they want to win points.
It also means that there are more opportunities for comebacks in matches. If a player falls behind early in a match, they no longer have to win six games in a row to come back and win. They just have to win four consecutive points.
This new scoring system is already being used at some lower-level professional tournaments, and it will be implemented at all levels of professional tennis by 2020. So if you want to be ahead of the curve, start practicing with the new scoring system now!
How To Keep Track Of Tennis Scores?
Tennis is a game that is often played outdoors. Because of this, there are a few things that you need to keep track of when playing tennis. First, you need to keep track of the score. Tennis is usually played to four games. The first player to win four games wins the match. If the score gets to three games all, then whoever wins the next game wins the match.
To keep track of the score, you will need a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. On the piece of paper, you will write down the score for each game as it happens. For example, if player A wins the first game, you would write “1” next to their name. If player B then wins the second game, you would write “2” next to their name. This continues until someone has won four games and thus won the match.
Another thing that you need to keep track of when playing tennis is who is serving. Only one person can serve at a time. When it is your turn to serve, you will stand behind the baseline on one side of the court and hit the ball over the net into your opponent’s half of the court. Your opponent will then try to hit it back over so that it lands in your half again. If they succeed, then they get a point and they get to serve again next time round. However, if you manage to hit it back and they don’t manage to return it over, then you get a point and get to serve again next time round. This continues until one person has won enough points to win a game as described above.
When keeping track of who is serving, you will need another piece of paper (or use the same one) and write down who is serving after each game has finished. For example, if player A served first in the first game and player B served first in the second game, then after the second game has finished you would write “A” next to player A’s name and “B” next to player B’s name indicating that player A will serve first in the third game while player B serves first in fourth game (assuming that neither player has won enough points yet to win four games and thus win overall).
Tennis can be a very exciting sport to play outdoors with friends or family members! By keeping track of these two things – scores and who is serving – throughout your tennis match, you can ensure that everyone knows what is going on and enjoys playing tennis just as much as possible!

The next point is 30-love if you win it and 30-15 if you lose it. Then 40-love,40-15,40-30 and so on until one player wins four points and has a winning score of four games to love or 4-0.
