The New York Times reports the United States National Lawn Tennis Association votes to replace love and deuce with a numerical system called one two three. Server and receiver scores shift to One In One Out and progress to Four Three or Three Four as points are played. A new fault rule requires the server to keep both feet behind the baseline until contact. The change aims to standardize scoring and handicap calculations for matches.
