Tennis Scoring on Kynaix Sports

Point-by-point match recording, tiebreak support, and live game-set-match stats — all from your phone courtside.

How Scoring Works

Kynaix tracks each point and automatically advances the score through games, sets, and the match. You just tap who won the point.

Step 1

Open the live match and tap Start Match. Select who is serving first.

Step 2

After each point, tap the player or team who won it. The app advances game score automatically.

Step 3

Optionally log the shot type — ace, double fault, winner, or unforced error.

Step 4

When a tiebreak is triggered, the app switches to tiebreak scoring (first to 7, win by 2).

Step 5

At match end, confirm the result. The full match scorecard is published immediately.

Point Notation

Tennis uses a non-standard point system. The app displays the correct notation at all times — you never have to remember it.

💡 In No-Ad scoring (common in doubles tournaments), a sudden-death point is played at deuce. Your organizer sets this in tournament settings.

Match Formats

Your organizer configures the format before the tournament. Common formats are pre-set — just select and go.
