How tennis scoring works
A tennis match is a nested set of counters. Points build a game, games build a set, and sets decide the match. Points are called love (zero), 15, 30 and 40 — the server's score is always announced first. Win the point at 40 with at least two points clear and you win the game.
Deuce, advantage and No-Ad
At 40–40 the score is deuce. Under standard scoring the next point won gives that player advantage; win the following point and the game is theirs, lose it and the score returns to deuce — for as long as it takes. No-Ad removes that loop: the point played at deuce decides the game outright. Padel calls that deciding point the Golden Point. Club leagues and Masters events often use No-Ad to keep matches inside their court booking, and the scoreboard above supports both.
Set tiebreak vs match tiebreak
A set is won at six games with two games clear. At 6–6 a tiebreak is played: first to seven points, win by two, and the set is recorded as 7–6. A match tiebreak is a different thing — it replaces a deciding third set and is played to ten points, win by two. It is the standard shortcut in doubles, Masters draws and most amateur formats. Pick the format in Match settings before the first point.
When the serve changes
Service alternates at the end of every game. Inside a tiebreak the pattern changes: the player due to serve the next game serves one point, then service passes over every two points. Whoever served that first tiebreak point receives first in the next set — the rule players most often get wrong. Work out who serves next if you have lost track mid-match.
Why Racketlovers confirms the score at the changeover
Almost every match played on a Saturday morning has no chair umpire, and a scoreboard only one player can see is a disagreement waiting to happen. In the Racketlovers app the score is entered at the changeover — the 90-second break every two games — and confirmed by the opponent before it goes live. That mutual-consent step is what makes a player-scored match trustworthy enough to publish to spectators.
Questions about the scoreboard
Do I need an account to use the scoreboard?+
No. The scoreboard runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no signup, paywall or trial.
Does this scoreboard broadcast my score to other people?+
No — this page is a private scorekeeper for one device. If you want friends, family or a club to follow the match point by point as it happens, that is what the Racketlovers app does.
Will I lose the score if I lock my phone?+
The current match is saved in your own browser storage, so returning to this page restores it. Clearing site data or switching browsers starts a fresh match.
Can I use it for padel?+
Padel uses the same 15/30/40 game structure, so the scoreboard tracks a padel match too. Select No-Ad if you play the Golden Point.
