Final answer:

Games in singles are played to 21 points, not 15. Doubles games are played to 15 points, not 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, this statement is not true. In singles games, the scoring goes up to 21 points, not 15. However, in doubles games, the scoring goes up to 15 points, not 21. Let me explain further:

  1. In singles games, a player or team can score points when they win a rally, regardless of who is serving. The first player or team to reach 21 points wins the game.
  2. In doubles games, each player serves in turn until a rally is lost. The serving team can score a point, and the receiving team can win a point, with each rally. The first player or team to reach 15 points wins the game.

So, in singles games, it is played to 21 points, while in doubles games, it is played to 15 points.
