Free Tennis Scorekeeper
Full tennis scoring with deuce and tiebreaks.
What is the Tennis Scorekeeper?
Tennis scoring trips people up — 15, 30, 40, deuce, advantage, then games and sets on top, and a tiebreak when it's close. Trying to hold all that in your head during a friendly match is a recipe for a disagreement. This scorekeeper does the counting for you: tap whoever won the rally and it tracks points, games and sets correctly, including deuce and tiebreaks.
It runs entirely in your browser, so you can keep it open courtside on a phone.

What does this tool do?
You tap the button for the player who won each point, and it advances the score using real tennis rules: 15/30/40, deuce at 40–40, advantage, win-by-two to take the game, and a 7-point tiebreak at 6–6 in a set. It scores a best-of-three match, records each completed set, and moves a server indicator every game.
You never have to remember whose advantage it is or whether the set is done — it handles the logic.
