Understanding “Score After Deuce” in Tennis Crosswords
When a tennis game reaches a score of 40-40, this situation is called deuce. To win the game from deuce, a player must win two consecutive points.
The point scored immediately after deuce results in a player having the Advantage. This is the “score after deuce.” Specifically:
- If the server wins the point after deuce, the score is Advantage In (often announced or written as “Ad In”).
- If the receiver wins the point after deuce, the score is Advantage Out (often announced or written as “Ad Out”).
For a “daily themed crossword” clue like “score after deuce in tennis,” the specific answer often depends on the required letter count and any existing cross-letters. However, a very common four-letter solution, particularly referring to the server having gained the advantage, is:
- ADIN
This is the standard abbreviation for “Advantage In.”
