COMAN Tiebreaker Rules
The Coman Tiebreak procedure is identical to the regular tiebreak procedure except that the players change ends after the first point and then after every four points until the conclusion of a tiebreak. The Coman Tiebreak procedure is used for all tiebreaks played during a match. Set Tie Break: First to win 7 points by 2 points wins “Game “and “Set” 3rd set Match Tie Break: First to win 10 points by 2, wins match. The player whose turn it is to serve shall serve the first point from the deuce court. After the first point, the players shall change ends and the following two points shall be served by the opponent(s) (in doubles, the player of the opposing team due to serve next) starting from the add court. After this, each player/team shall serve alternately for two consecutive points (starting from the ad court); changing ends after every four points, until the completion of the tie break game. Switch ends after points 1,5,9,13, 17...…. and at the conclusion. SUMMARY • Switch sides after 1st point to the deuce court • Then switch sides every 4 points thereafter • Each player serves on the side they serve from during the set PRINCIPLE ADVANTAGES Fairness – By changing ends more frequently, the effects of the elements (sun, wind, differences in court surfaces etc.) are distributed more evenly between the two opponents as opposed to playing six consecutive points before changing ends. In doubles, the server will always serve from the same end of the court as they did throughout the set...........................Watch this funny video. ;-)
Gail Falkenberg - Tennis Story
Hello Stone Creek Family, I wanted to share something truly special that many of you may have missed on national TV today. While watching the Serena Williams vs. Maya Joint match, I noticed something amazing — and I couldn’t wait to tell you all. Right after the match ended, Maya finished her post‑match interview and the broadcast cut to a commercial featuring tennis greats from past and present. As the montage played, and the woman in all white walked across the screen, I suddenly realized that our very own Gail Falkenberg was right there among the legends. Seeing Gail on that big national stage filled me with pride. We are incredibly fortunate to have such an accomplished superstar living here at Stone Creek — someone who not only trains and teaches, but generously shares her lifetime of experience with all of us. Way to go, Gail!
