The fifth-set tiebreak has been in place at Roland Garros for all of four years.
I think some of the TNT hosts hadn't watched a lot of tennis before this event, and they were getting quite the education in the past two weeks.

I watched the entire tournament on MAX with the sound either off or very low. I thought they did a good job.

Today, both the play-by-play announcer and the studio host referred to 40-all, which doesn't exist as a term in America. In fairness, it does in France, so maybe they heard the umpires announce the score in French and thought it was the same here.

We don't have a Spanish translation for DEUCE, for example.
