By doing it this way you can work out the score in the tie-break e.g. 0 to 5, the winner got 7 points, 6 or more, the winner got that plus 2 more points. Incidentally, the screens also work very well in "real life" although the ones they have dotted around the grounds telling you who is playing on what court and the current score are rubbish - the information isn't on display long enough to take in the info presented to you and then make a decision on what court to go to - the old wooden boards were much better as you could see who was playing on every court in one go.

This has varied each time I have seen it from 3 through to 10. Does anyone know what this signifies?
