Players change sides after four points. The first team (or person) to score five points wins the tiebreaker. If the tiebreaker reaches 4-4, the person who served the eighth point serves the ninth (final) point. The receiver, however, has the choice of sides (except in mixed doubles, where the service must be gender-to-gender). The winner of the ninth point is the winner of the set. Note: You do not have to win by two points.

2 Super Tiebreaker

If the match enters into a Super Tiebreaker, a coin toss will decide which team serves first/receives or chooses side in the Super Tiebreaker. The Super Tiebreaker should be treated as a new set and substitutions are allowed. Either player on the serving team may serve first. The receiving team selects from which end of the court they want to receive.

Each player serves two points in succession starting from the deuce court. Players change sides after six points. The first team to score seven points wins the Super Tiebreaker.
