Result

If the player wins his first point, the score is called 15 for that player. On winning his second point, the score is called 30 for that player. On winning his third point the score is called 40 for that player and the fourth point won by the player who's score is 40 will win the game. 

If both the players have won three points, the score is called Deuce and the next point won by a player is scored Advantage for that player. If the same player wins the next point, he wins the game. If the other player wins the next point the score is again called Deuce and so on, until the player wins the two points immediately following the score at deuce, when the game is scored for that player.

A player (or players) who first wins six games wins a Set, except that he must win by a margin of two games over his opponent and where necessary a Set shall be extended until this margin be achieved.
