Q: I just read your response to a question about who serves and from where after the end of a tie breaker. Please confirm for me....the person who recieved in the first point of the tie breaker will then serve the first game of the next set. Which side this player serves from is determined by where the tie breaker ended....., is that accurate? I have assumed that sides are switched based on where the tie breaker began.....much confusion...please help.

A: The person or team who started the tie break will receive serve for the start of the next set. Sides will be switched from where the last point was played that finished the tie break. Hope that clears it up for you. Brian
