Rules
Jim Martin Asked 6 years ago
Say the score is 9/10, my opponents favor, and I just got the serve (so still two serves per player).
I win the point of my first serve, so it’s 10 up (deuce). Does deuce start immediately and the next serve goes to my opponent (so I don’t get my second serve), or do I get to serve once more and then serves alternate one serve each player (per deuce rule) until the end of the game?

Hi Jim,
This situation would not occur because in a game you change serve after the first two points and then every two points after that. So it would be a natural change of serve at 10 all. Then you change serve every point after that.

Silly me- that’s true, so at 10-10 there would always be a serve change anyway. It was a hypothetical question, but we didn’t think about it enough to realize. Thanks!
