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?

    Just to clarify - do you mean which person on the doubles team serves first after the tie break or which doubles team serves first?

  • @jamauss The latter question is the only interesting one, as it's a new set, so either player on the serving team can serve.
