När kom tiebreak?
År 1970 infördes så kallat tiebreak för att lättare kunna beräkna speltidens längd, till fördel för exempelvis TV-sändningarna med sina i förväg utlagda tidsramar. Tennis är ursprungligen en engelsk racketsport som spelas på rektangulär bana, från början utomhus och senare även inomhus.

In tennis, this is the only time a tennis competitor closes out a set by winning with a one game advantage resulting in tennis game score of 7-6 or 6-7. Also called the 12 point tiebreak, the first player to win seven points and hold at least a two-point advantage wins the tiebreaker.
How do you break a tie-break in tennis?
The player who was due on serve for the next 25th game of the set, serves first in the tie-break. Then the opponent serves the next two points, then it rotates every other point. The players change end every six points. From there, the first player to win seven points wins the tie-break and the set.
Can a tie-break be played in every set of a match?
Previously, the rules had stated that tie-breaks could be played in all but the final set of a match, with the last set simply continuing until someone had the necessary two-game margin over their opponent. All of which has led to some very lengthy final sets over the years – but now that’s all set to change.
