Tie-break

A tie-break is a method used in tennis and some other sports to decide a winner when players have the same score, making the game unending. Instead of continuing until one player gains a clear lead, the tie-break involves a separate, quick mini-game where players compete to reach a set number of points first, typically with specific serving rules. This process ensures a timely conclusion while maintaining fairness. Tie-breaks help keep matches exciting and organized, especially when scores are close, allowing a definitive winner to be determined efficiently.
