In doubles tennis, who serves 1st after a tie breaker set? I realize who starts the tie break but who serves the first regular game after the tie break?

3Just to clarify - do you mean which person on the doubles team serves first after the tie break or which doubles team serves first? – jamauss♦ Aug 31 '13 at 7:55

@jamauss The latter question is the only interesting one, as it's a new set, so either player on the serving team can serve. – user207421 Jul 2 '16 at 4:47
According to the rules, rule 5. Score in Game states:
5. SCORE IN A GAME ...The player/team whose turn it was to serve first in the tie-break game shall be the receiver in the first game of the following set.
