So it goes 15 for the 1st point, 30 for the second, 40 for the 3rd... then game. And you have to win by 2 points... so... it has to be at least 40-30 and then game to win. If you tie at 40 all, it goes to deuce. When a person gets the point, they get the advantage... and the score basically goes back to 40-30. That happens until someone wins the game.



Ok...that makes a little more sense now. So a match, set (not sure the right term) can not be won by anything for 2 points. If not then it goes to something like overtime?

FED has WAY too many unforced errors.


You should have seen the first set. Fed was routinely ripping up the line forehand winners, now he keeps hitting them into the net, and only the cross court shots are working. His drop shot is way off as well.

His serve and forehand is really letting him down. I only pray he wins this tiebreak because I can't ever see him winning the 5th and like you mention he will probably become a mental case and get throttled in the 4th.

Someone has to start a watch party for these early morning games. I know "it's just tennis" but I'm struggling trying hard not to cheer and wake my house up

Yep... but the points are actually 15, 30, 40.

But the Tiebreaker (overtime) is in actual 1 points.

Fed looked like utter shite in the 2nd, and his serve and forehand were pretty crap this 3rd set. I am surprised he even forced a tiebreak.

Fed can make things interesting if he can hold his own 2 here.
