Set 1 – Game 6 – Who Wins Point 1? is a point-by-point betting market in tennis.
You are betting on which player will win the very first point of Game 6 in Set 1, regardless of who is serving.
Only the first point of Game 6 counts.
What happens in the rest of the game or match does not matter.
How the Bet Works
Once Set 1 reaches Game 6:
- The game begins (score starts at 0–0)
- The first rally is played
- Whoever wins that rally wins the bet
Betting Options
- Player A wins Point 1
- Player B wins Point 1
Some bookmakers may label it as:
- Point Winner – Set 1 Game 6
- 1st Point Winner (Set 1, Game 6)
Practical Example
Match: Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz
Set 1 score reaches 3–2 (next game is Game 6).
You place:
- Set 1 – Game 6 – Point 1 Winner: Djokovic
If Djokovic wins the first point of Game 6:
Bet wins
If Alcaraz wins that first point:
Bet loses
Even if Djokovic wins the game 4–2, your bet still loses if he didn’t win Point 1.
Important Things to Know
Server does not always win the first point
A double fault on the first point means:
- The returning player wins the point
If the match ends before Game 6: - Bet is void
If a player retires before Game 6 starts: - Bet is void
Who Should You Pick?
This market is best suited for:
- Strong servers
- Players with a high first-point win percentage
- Aggressive returners when the opponent has a weak serve
