Question
Briefly explain match point.
Solution
At the start of the game, both players have 'love' (zero) points. Unlike other racket sports, points do not increase in regular increments, but rather follow the set system outlined below:
- No points – ‘Love‘
- First point – ‘15‘
- Second point – ‘30‘
- Third point – ‘40‘
- Fourth point – ‘Game’
As a result, the first player to score four points wins the game.
