Reading the score

About it

A tennis game counts points as love (0), 15, 30, 40, then game. At 40-all the score is "deuce", and a player must then win two points in a row: one gives "advantage", the next wins the game.

Games make sets (first to six, by two, often with a tiebreak at 6-6), and sets make the match.

One question

The score is advantage server and the receiver wins the next point. What is the score now?
