What are the origins of the Australian Open’s tennis scoring system?This format began at the other three Grand Slams beginning at the 2022 French Open.
In the past, play continued beyond 6-6 at Roland Garros until one player was up by a margin of two games. At Wimbledon, a final set tiebreaker was implemented at 12 games apiece. At the U.S. Open, the final set was decided by a regular 7-point tiebreaker.On the women’s side, every singles match is the best of three tie-break sets. The first person to win two sets wins the match.
On the men’s side, every singles match is the best of five tie-break sets. The first person to win three sets wins the match. The first person to win six games wins a set. If the set score is tied at 5-5, the first person to reach 7 games will win the set. If the set is tied at 6-6, a tiebreaker will be played to determine the set.
