with the same player serving and is won
by the first player to have won at least
four points and at least two points more
than his opponent the running score of
each game goes from love or zero 15 30

at 40 the score is deuce a deuce the

certain criteria typically a player wins
a set when he wins at least six games or

more game and thus the set to give the
final set score of seven six matches
