How does scoring work in beach tennis?

Beach tennis uses standard tennis scoring (0, 15, 30, 40) with no-advantage (no-ad) rules. At 40-40 (deuce), one golden point decides the game. Sets are first to 6 games (win by 2) or decided by a tie-break at 6-6.

Full Explanation

Per ITF Beach Tennis Rules Rule 6, points are scored as 0 (Love), 15, 30, 40, and then the game. When the score reaches 40-40, a single golden point is played instead of traditional deuce; the receiver chooses which side of the service box the server must target. The player or pair that wins the golden point wins the game. Sets are won by the first side to reach 6 games with a 2-game lead (6-0, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4). If the set reaches 6-6, a tie-break is played. The match uses rally scoring implicitly: every point is decisive and either side may score regardless of who served.
