A break point occurs when two conditions are met: 1) one player is one point away from a win, and 2) their opponent is serving. Essentially, in order to win the game — and inch closer to— the player must"break" their opponent's serve. There are four possible scoring combinations that could give rise to a break point: 0-40, 15-40, 30-40, or when the server does not have the advantage in a deuce.

Winning the break point means winning the game, but it's not as easy as it sounds. It's harder to win when your opponent is serving, because a strong serve can put the returner on the defensive or disrupt their strategic placement.
