Match

A match in beach tennis is the complete contest between two players (singles) or two pairs (doubles), typically played as best of 3 sets. Per ITF Beach Tennis Rules Rule 4, the player or pair that wins the majority of sets wins the match. Some tournament formats, particularly consolation rounds, use a single set plus a match tie-break. The match score is tracked as sets won by each side. BeachTennisRef.App tracks serve order, set scores, and match score automatically throughout the full match.
