With your permission the watch records the match as a workout in Apple Health, so you get heart rate, calories and Activity ring credit while you play, and the score stays on screen the whole time. You can turn workout recording off in match setup. EVERY WAY A MATCH IS PLAYED, FREE Singles and doubles with full tennis scoring: deuce or golden point, tiebreaks, best of 3 or 5.
