1. MTO means "medical time out", I have figured out.

 

2.What does having Championship points mean?

 

3. What does being BP down mean?

[Upnotover]

Guessing;

2. In other words, Match Points

3. Break Point

At the risk of being pranked, I'll take your post seriously...


2. Championship Point = the point that will win the player the entire tournament (the US Open)

3. BP = Break Point, refers to the when your are serving in the game and you are one point away from losing that game (being "broken")  e.g. down 30-40 ... since the server usually has the advantage.

Thank you both.

Bp = meaning Blood Pressure down. Before lot of time In best tennis tournament matches players Bp down & they get the medical attention during play.
