IM NEW AT THIS!!!!
Okay, i've just decided to try tennis, but i have friken clue of how the hell to play it. lol I keep trying to find out things online, and it's telling me things about how u need 4 points to win a game, 6 games to win a set, and 2 sets to win a match, but i have no clue what they mean by "game" "set" or "match", I dont know what they are!!lol I also don't know how you get scored on this. If anyone would like to take the time and explain to me thoroughly and define these 'terms' to me i will love you!!!!

well.. you can play a game, set,or match. in order to play a set you can play six games. and to play a match you can play two sets or twelve games. its just how long the game is pretty much.
hope i helped

Ok, I've never really played tennis before but I know how it works. Tennis is juat a huge version of ping-pong kind of. You score "points" by hitting the tennis ball onto the other players court (it has to hit their side of the court). If it bounces more than once (I think) or if it hits their side then goes out of bounds, then you get a point. The next part is easier. Once you score four points, you have one a "game". "Games" are just bigger points on a bigger scoreboard. You need to win six games (24 points) to win a single set. A "set" is made up of six games and each game is made up of four points. I hope you're still following this. Then, if you win two "sets" then you have won a "match" (48 points, 12 games, 2 sets). Hope this helps.

one person starts out by serving, and they must serve to the diagonal square on the court. (it's broken up into 4 equal parts) the other player must hit the ball back after one bounce. if it hits the line, or goes out of bounds, (outside of the line) then the other person recieves one point. when you have no points and the other person has some, your score is "love". after the person scores their point, the score would now be "one;love". you serve, then the other person serves. (or the other way around) when one person has the right amount of points, it has been one game. (i think you need 7 points to win, not 4) you continue this until you have played 6 games. that is a set. you do this again for the next set.
to win a set, you must win the most amount of games. if it is a tie, then you have a tiebreaker. when you have played 2 sets, whoever won them both is the winner. if there is a tie again, you play one more game.
