    advantage”), while for tennis
    it’s normally X ha il

    advantage”) just as if the
    advantage was a physical
    object representing the idea of
    being at an advantage.

    15-15 = Quindici Pari
    15-30 = quindici trenta
    15-40 = quindici quaranta
    30-30 = Trenta Pari
    40-40 (or deuce) = Parita
    Advantage = Vantaggio
    Game = Gioco
