Bonus Question
Q: Who begins serving in a “tie break”?
A: The player who began serving at the beginning of the set.
Except under circumstances as set out in the Service Rules. (If a player serves out of turn, the player who should have served must do so as soon as the error is discovered. All points won before the error are valid. If there has been a single service fault up to the time of the error it will not be taken into account.)
