To check the result after using Tennis Scorekeeper, look at the on-screen match card for the current sets, games, and point score — the scoreboard updates instantly each time you tap the winning player, so the final result is always visible at the end of the match, and the daily point record stays in your browser's local history until you clear it; starting a new match retains that daily history while resetting only the active match score. Because every point is processed by an explicit local state machine that follows the ITF Rules of Tennis 2026 (cross-checked against the USTA player guide on tennis scoring), the displayed result is always the correct tennis score for the points you have entered — there is no mental translation from a raw tally. You can also reverse any accidental tap with the Undo control, scroll back through private daily point history grouped by local calendar day, or export a PNG image or CSV file when you want a copy outside the browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so the only places to find your result are the match card itself, your local browser storage, or a file you chose to export.
Where the Live Match Result Appears on Screen
After you tap a player's name to award a point, the match card immediately displays the current state of all three tennis layers: the in-progress game point score (Love, 15, 30, 40, Deuce, Advantage), the game count within the active set, and the set count across the best-of-three match. The result is therefore never hidden behind a separate screen — it is the same card you used to record the points, refreshed in place after each tap. You can confirm the final result simply by glancing at the card during a changeover or at the end of the match.
To make the on-screen labels easier to read against the official rules, here is how each label the scorekeeper shows maps to the rule it represents:
| On-screen label | Standard rule (ITF / USTA) |
|---|---|
| Love, 15, 30, 40 | The four point stages of a regular game, starting at zero |
| Deuce | Displayed at 40-all |
| Advantage | One point won from Deuce; the opponent's next point returns to Deuce |
| Set won 6-x | Six games won by at least two |
| Tie-break (numeric) | First to seven points by two, awards the set 7-6 |
| Match won | First player to win two sets (best of three) |
If the labels match the rule, the result is correct. If a label looks wrong, an accidental tap is the most likely cause, and the next section explains how to reverse it without losing the rest of the match.
Reversing a Point Before the Final Result
If you tap the wrong player, you do not need to abandon the match. The Undo last point control restores the entire previous match snapshot — the full sets, games, and points state from before the accidental tap. Because the snapshot is taken at the state-machine level rather than as a simple counter reversal, Undo safely reverses a point that ended a game, a set, a tie-break, or even the match itself, then resumes normal scoring from the corrected position. Tap Undo only when you actually need to remove the most recent point; tapping it twice will remove two points in reverse order, which is useful when two mistakes happened in a row.
Start new match is a heavier reset. It clears the active match score so you can begin another best-of-three match while keeping the daily point history already recorded in your browser. Use Start new match when the previous match is genuinely finished — not when you simply tapped the wrong player, which is what Undo is for. Clear local history is the deepest reset: it removes the stored point record when you want to begin again from a completely blank browser state. Pick the reset that matches the situation, and the result you intend to record will be the result that stays in the browser.
Reading Your Private Daily Point History
Each recorded point is saved against the device-local calendar day supplied by the browser's Intl.DateTimeFormat. The history view shows a small set of recent days with the points recorded on each date, which is useful when a practice match crosses midnight, when you want to compare practice volume between two days, or when you need to confirm how many points were scored on a particular date. The history is intentionally a point-count record, not a score — it tells you how many points were tapped on each day, not which player won which game. Treat it as the second place to look after the live match card: if the live card no longer shows the result you expected because you have already tapped Start new match, the daily history still gives you a tally of what was recorded.
The history is stored only in your browser under the scorekeeper's local storage key, so it will not appear on another device, and clearing site data removes it permanently. If browser storage is unavailable, the score can still be used on the current page while the tool discloses that it cannot retain the history for that session — a useful signal that the result visible on the card is the only record left.
Exporting the Result as PNG or CSV
Exporting is the practical way to get a result out of the browser. You only need to export when you want a file you can open in another program or share with someone else; the live match card and daily history already cover everything inside the browser.
- Finish or pause the match so the on-screen result reflects the state you want to capture.
- Click Export PNG to download a natural 1080 by 1350 image containing a total and recent days. Use this when you want a quick visual summary to drop into a message or save as a screenshot.
- Click Export CSV to download a two-column file with Date and Points recorded. Use this when you want the raw daily counts in a spreadsheet or archive.
- Save the downloaded file to a folder you control. Both files are produced with the browser's Blob and canvas APIs and never leave your device during creation.
- Confirm the contents on your computer: the PNG shows a total and recent days but does not include a URL or player names, limiting the personal context carried in a shared image; the CSV is intentionally narrow and opens cleanly in any spreadsheet without extra cleanup.
What the Tennis Scorekeeper Does Not Record
The result you can check is a personal, local record, not an official scorecard. The tool does not manage service order, chair-umpire decisions, doubles rotations, line calls, court changes, retirement, match tie-break alternatives, or event-specific scoring variations. A tournament can announce a different format, and that format controls the event. Use this scorekeeper when the standard game, tie-break-set, and best-of-three structure matches the match you are playing — friendly singles, practice sessions, club ladder notes, or lessons where a clear on-screen score is more useful than a paper mark.
There is also no account, upload queue, server-side scoring API, or remote file conversion in this tool; every figure you see is produced from the points you tapped on this device. The player names, active match, and point history are stored only under this tool's local browser key, and they do not synchronize to another device. For readers who also score other racket or team sports, our guide on checking results after using a basketball scorekeeper follows the same idea of confirming an on-screen event-by-event record before exporting a file outside the browser.
