The ITF formally recognised Tie Break Tens as its official partner in short format tennis in September 2025
NO GAMES. NO SETS.
JUST 10 POINT TIE BREAK MATCHES
The official short-form tennis format played by Pro Players and anyone else. All you need to get involved is a racket, a court, and a friend. The fast, first-to-10 format makes it perfect for players of any age or skill level.
How to play?
Tie Break Tens will be integrated into the ITF’s Junior Tennis Initiative (JTI) programme in selected nations, ensuring that young players are introduced to the format from the very start of their tennis journey.
The partnership will expand the reach of the dynamic Tie Break Tens scoring system across all levels of play – whether using red, orange, green, or standard yellow balls and on any court size.
