The Tiebreaker which Federer won with a score of lasted 26 minutes. Tiebreaks have been a great invention in many ways. They add more excitement as every single point counts. It can also lead to surprising results and upsets if for example one of the top players has a few bad moments and commits too many unforced errors. They are also essential to keep the games shorter.
This can be vital for players in a Grand Slam, as they have little rest between the games and nobody wants to be on the court for eleven hours. The invention of the Point Tiebreak also helped save the popularity of doubles matches. It made them shorter and more entertaining to watch.

Oh, and I had lunch with Brad Gilbert once. There are many different types of tennis coaches. Some specialize in teaching beginners and young children, while others work almost exclusively with adult club players. A substantial number work When you are playing a tennis match, your main aim is to win as many points as possible, but, if you are new to the game, you may not be aware of all of the ways in which this can be done. If there is another set to be played at the conclusion of the tie-break, the players will change ends depending on where they finished the tie-break.
For example, if Player A finishes the tie-break on one side of the court, he will start the next set on the other side of the court opposite side of the net. Once the score concludes in a tennis tie-break, it is reported as a set score.
The exact score of the tie-break does not matter it could have been , the set score is still put in the books as If you are playing a league or tournament match, you only need tell the score keeper a score of , if you played a tie-break. Whoever wins the tie-break wins the set.
The serving in a doubles tie-breaker is a bit more complicated to explain, as there are four people on the court. As you may know, two players are on each side of the court in a doubles match. The team that served to make the set score , will receive first in the tie-breaker.
The team that starts the tie-breaker only serves once before the other team serves. The player that starts serving first in the tie-breaker is the player that did not serve the last game for his team.
The players on the opposing team will be B1 and B2. This is how the serve pattern will look for the set. At the start of the tie-breaker, team A will serve, as team B served the 12th game. Specifically, Player A1 will serve because A2 served the last game game 11 and doubles players never serve two games in a row. Once the tie-breaker begins, all the players will take turns serving.
The pattern keeps repeating until the tie-break ends. As with singles, tie-breaks need to be won by 2 points and all the players change ends every 6 points until the conclusion of the tie-break. In singles, the player that started serving the tie-break will receive during the first game of the next set. Inversely, the player that received first during the tie-break will serve the first game of the next set.
The same rules apply for doubles. The team that started serving the tie-break will receive the first game of the next set. At the beginning of the set, any player from the serving team can elect to serve. The same holds true for the next game, when the other team serves. Either of those two players can elect to start serving first.
The two players who have not served yet will do so in the next two games the 3rd and 4th games. This serve pattern holds until the set is over or a tie-break reached. Tie-breaks in singles are always to 7 points in tournament or league play. However, in doubles, when the set score is , a point tiebreaker is often played.
This is because doubles matches are generally viewed as less important than singles matches and it saves time. This is not always the case though. The same rules apply in the point tie-breaker — players change ends every 6 points, a team must win by 2 points, and the same serve pattern that I outlined above holds for the entire tie-break. When playing singles, I like to immediately get ahead in the tie-break. This takes some pressure off and gives me a cushion.
