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
