What is Tiebreak in Tennis?

The game played at 6-6 to decide a set: points count 1, 2, 3… and the first player to 7 with a two-point margin wins the set 7-6. Serve alternates every two points after the opening point, and ends are changed every six points.

Example: He is 9-1 in tiebreaks this season, a mark of clutch serving.
