How Point Counting Works in Tennis
Each game’s points are counted in order:
- Point 1 → 15–0
- Point 2 → 30–0
- Point 3 → 40–0
- Point 4 → Game point or Deuce-triggering point
Point 4 is always the 4th rally, even if the score goes to deuce later.
Betting Options Available
Bookmakers usually offer:
- Player A wins Point 4
- Player B wins Point 4
No draw option — a point must be won.

Example 2: Deuce Scenario
- Score before Point 4: 40–30
