How to use it
- Choose Sets to play (best of three or best of five) and the Set rule: a tie-break game at six games all, or an advantage set.
- Type the names of the two players, or keep Player 1 and Player 2.
- Press Point for the player who won each point. The game score reads Love, 15, 30, 40, Deuce or Advantage.
- Use Undo last point to take back a mistake, and New match to start again.
How a game and a set are scored
A standard game counts Love, 15, 30 and 40, and the game goes to the player who first has four points with a lead of two (ITF Rule 5a). At three points each the score is Deuce. After Deuce, the player who wins the next point has the Advantage; if that player wins the next point too, the game is won, and if the other player wins it, the score is Deuce again.
A set goes to the first player to win six games with a lead of two games (Rule 6). With the tie-break set rule, a tie-break game is played at six games all instead of going on (Rule 6b).
Game: first to 4 points, with a lead of 2
Tie-break game: first to 7 points, with a lead of 2
Set: first to 6 games, with a lead of 2 (tie-break at 6-6 under the tie-break set rule)The tie-break game, the set and the match
In a tie-break game the points are counted 0, 1, 2 and so on, and the first player to seven points, with a lead of two, wins the game and the set (Rule 5b). The set is written 7-6, and the figure in brackets is the points of the player who lost the tie-break: 7-6(5).
A match is the best of three sets, won by two, or the best of five sets, won by three (Rule 7). The organiser chooses the set method before the event (Rule 6).
- The tracker follows the score only. Serves, faults, lets and changes of ends are not checked here.
Example: a tie-break set won 7-6
Both players win six games, so the set goes to a tie-break game. The points alternate, so the tie-break stands at 6-6. Player 1 wins the next two points, first 7-6 and then 8-6: a lead of two with seven points or more, so Player 1 wins the tie-break and the set, which is recorded as 7-6(6). The 6 is Player 2's points in the tie-break.
| Tie-break points | Score |
|---|---|
| The points alternate | 6-6 |
| Player 1 wins the next point | 7-6, not finished yet |
| Player 1 wins the next point | 8-6, set won 7-6(6) |
Frequently asked questions
Does the tracker store the score?
No. Nothing is stored or sent to us. The score lives in the page, and it starts again from zero when you reload the page or leave it.
Why do I need two points in a row after Deuce?
Under Rule 5a a game is won only with a lead of two points. After Deuce, the player with the Advantage wins the game by winning the next point; if the other player wins it, the score is Deuce again.
What is the difference between the two set rules?
With the tie-break set rule, a tie-break game decides the set at six games all, and the set is written 7-6. With the advantage set, the set goes on until one player is two games ahead, so it can finish 8-6 or later. The organiser chooses the rule before the event (Rule 6).
Does a tie-break go to seven points or ten?
In a set, a tie-break game is won by seven points with a margin of two (Rule 5b). The ten-point match tie-break in Appendix VI can replace a final set where the event allows it, and this tracker does not play it.
How do I score doubles?
The rules name the side as a player or a team. Enter each pair as one side and give the point to the pair that won it.
Is this the official score of a match?
No. The scoring follows the ITF Rules of Tennis, but the official score is kept by the match officials and the rules of the tournament.
