The player whose turn it is to serve takes the first point of the tiebreak, from the deuce (right-hand) court. After that the serve changes every two points, and each player serves their pair from the advantage (left) court first and then the deuce court. Players change ends after every six points: at 6, 12, 18 and so on.

A tiebreak is won by the first to 7 points (or 10 in a match tiebreak) with a two-point lead, so it can run on well past those numbers. The player who received the first point of the tiebreak serves the first game of the next set. In doubles the same order applies, with each team keeping its service rotation from the set.
