When a game score reaches 40–40; golden point decides the game.
Definition
Deuce is the tied score of 40–40 (or 'deuce' in tennis terminology). From deuce, a single golden point is played to decide the game—the receiver chooses which side to defend, and the winner of that point wins the game. Padel uses golden point instead of advantage scoring.
Origin: French: 'deux' (two), referring to two players being tied; adopted from tennis.
Every close game reaches deuce; golden-point psychology and serve placement are critical in these deciding moments.
Deuce is the 40–40 score. Golden point is the sudden-death point played from deuce to decide the game.
Yes—at deuce, it's single point, 50–50 odds. Either player can win.
