In tennis, AD stands for advantage. Advantage is assigned to a player who acquired a temporary lead after scoring a subsequent point after a tie (40 – 40, also known as a deuce). That makes them favorable to win a game. If the player with the advantage scores the next point, they win the game.
If the player scores the next point after the player with the advantage, the score is, again, a tie.
When players have scored three points each, making the final score of the game 40-40, one player needs to score the following two points consecutively to win the game.
The scoreboard presents the advantage as “Ad” next to the player who acquired it.
