FAST4 Tennis provides a simple, exciting way of speeding up a conventional tennis match. The fundamentals of tennis remain the same, but there are four rules that ensure matches are fast, competitive, exciting and can be completed in a reasonable period of time.

FAST4 TENNIS RULES

Matches are played as best of 3 sets, the third set ‘tie break’ to 10.

1. First to four games wins (It doesn’t matter how you get there, just make sure you do before your opponent does)
2. Tiebreaker at 3 games all  (At 3 games all a tie-break is played to 7 points, 2 clear at 6-6)
3. Super tiebreak at 1 set all (If the score reaches 1 set all, a match tie-break is played to 10 points, 2 clear at 9-9)
4. No ad scoring (If the score reaches deuce, it’s a sudden death point. The receiver chooses which side to take the serve on. This also applies in doubles with the receiving pair deciding who receives the serve. However the pair cannot change positions. In mixed doubles the player of the same gender shall receive)

TIEBREAK RULES

The player whose turn it is to serve, shall serve the first point of the tiebreak game.   On completion of the tiebreak, irrespective of the result, that player shall be the receiver in the first game of the following set
