  • set di vantaggio / set tiebreak
  • partita
  • set
  • gioco
  • love (same)
  • quindici/trenta/quaranta
  • pari (but "deuce" is used as well)
  • vantaggio (used for both in and out)

More:

  • racchetta (racket)
  • campo (field)
  • fuori (when the ball goes out)
  • arbitro (referee)
  • lungolinea (down the line shot)
  • ace (same as English)
  • fallo (fault)
  • vittoria (victory)
  • sconfitta (defeat)

I used to play tennis but I can only think of these words at the moment. Most English words are used in Italian too.

    I'm uncertain about partita for match, as I remember it used for set: gioco, partita, incontro is/was used for announcing the winner, where English has game, set and match.

    Ora però “gioco” sembra corrispondere a “match” e “partita” a “game”. A me sembrava che “partita” dovesse corrispondere a “set”.
