The score

Iciar Montes

Hi friends!!!

The following is advice to assist you in keeping control of the score throughout the match. It’s very important that you know where the game stands, because, for example, you shouldn’t play a point the same way if the score is 40-15 or 15-40. And it’s a good way of keeping your concentration during the game.

1. Try to not start a point unless you know the score
2. Call the score in a loud voice
3. If you find it difficult to keep the score, you could agree between you that the server calls the score
4. If you should lose the score:
1. Try to remember from which side you last served 
2. Knowing from which side it corresponds to serve, you can try to calculate the score
5. If you can’t remember from which side you should serve:
1. Knowing the score, you can calculate from which side it corresponds to serve
2. If the sum of the points played so far is even, it corresponds to serve from the right. For example, 15-40 (4 points – right), 15-15 (2 points – right)
3. If the sum of the points played so far is odd, it corresponds to serve from the left. For example, 30-15 (3 points – left), 40-30 (5 points – left)
4. When the score is even the service is from the right
5. Deuce is always from the right
6. Advantage is always from the left

I hope this information has been useful.

Bye for now friends!!!
