Tiebreaker & super tiebreaker rules

When a tennis match goes to a tiebreaker, individual tiebreaker points will NOT be counted towards the grading of over/under totals.

All Grand Slams will play a 10-point tiebreak when the score reaches 6-6 games in the final set.

For Doubles, Exhibitions and some Regular tour events, a Super Tiebreaker rule is applied when a match goes to the third set. This means there is no traditional third set played, but instead, a tiebreaker (usually to 10 points) is used.

The same as a regular tiebreaker, when this happens only one game is added to the total for betting purposes.

Super Tie Breaker example

  1st Set 2nd Set Super Tiebreaker
Player A 6 2 10(0)
Player B 1 6 12(1)

In this example, Player B wins the match, 2 Sets to 1, with the final game totals tied at 8.

  • Player A game total: 6 + 2 + 0 = 8
  • Player B game total: 1 + 6 + 1 = 8
