		<description>Tennis scoring is a bit wacky. 

There are 6 games per set, and two sets. For each game, the scoring is like this: 15-30-40-50. Don&#039;t ask me why. So during a game, the score can be 15-0, 30-30, 40-15 etc. When it gets to 50, the game is won. Games must be won by two points, so when it&#039;s 40-40, you have to win two balls in a row to win the game.

Then there&#039;s the set, which has 6 games, but again must be won by two games or more. So valid results are 6-4, 6-3, 7-5, 8-6 etc. And you have to win two sets to win the match. So 6-0, 6-0 is a won match. Otherwise if it&#039;s 6-0, 4-6, then there&#039;s a third set which settles it.</description>

		<description>I actually don&#039;t get how tennis scores are counted. But 6-0 6-0 sounds pretty bad :D</description>
