Tie-break
Tie-break a tiebreaker (tennis) tie-break the thirteenth game of a set, only played when a set reaches six games all, where a player must win seven points and at least two more than his or her opponent to win the set (tennis) (chambers. Sports factf.,2005, 601P.) Tie-break (also van allen simplified scoring system or vass-system) special scoring method in tennis introduced in 1970, by means of which a competition is brought to an end more quickly in case of a tie at six games all (6:6). When a tie-break is played, a set can be won with one game difference (7:6) instead of the regular number of two games. Each fault is scored with a point awarded to the opponent until a player reaches at least seven points, to win the game, and therefore the set, a player must win with a minimum of two point‟s difference (i.E. 7:5 Or 8:6, but not 7:6). The first player has one service from the left side, after that the service alternates between the players and each player has two services. Sides are changed after six points have been played. The tie-break is played in almost all tennis tournaments in every set, it is not used in the final set at the davis-cup and wimbledon tourna- ments. (H.Haag & g.Haag, dictionary, 2003, 538p)
