What is total games in tennis?

Tennis is typically played in either singles or doubles matches, with the goal being to win a certain number of sets (usually best of three or best of five). A set is made up of games, which are won by being the first player or team to reach four points.

In tennis, a game is won by the first player or team to reach four points, with a margin of two points. The scoring system in tennis goes 15, 30, 40, with the fourth point typically being considered game point. If both players or teams reach 40 points or duece, then they must win by two clear points until one player or team wins the game.

In a typical tennis match, the total number of games played can vary depending on the format. In a best of three sets match, there is a possibility of playing a maximum of 12 games per set, totaling 36 games. In a best of five sets match, there is a possibility of playing a maximum of 12 games per set, totaling 60 games.

It is also important to note that the tie-breaker rule may come into play in certain situations, in which case games may go beyond the typical number before a winner is determined.
