Typos galore

"The fifth seeded Indian combo put up a brave fight before going down 6-7, (1-7), 6-2, 10-4 to the Chinese Taipei pair, seeded second, at the Yeorumul Tennis Courts."

"But the deciding set turned out to be a cake-walk for the Taiwanese as they took barely 10 minutes to seal the set 10-4 and take home the match."

How can one lose 10-4 in tennis? I thought the first one was a typo but they repeated it in a later paragraph.

Also how can one win a set 10-4 in 10 minutes? Even assuming it is 6-4, a 6-4 se would take at least 15 minutes.

You need basic lessons in tennis it seems.

It is like this. In the doubles game which is three setter, if the match goes to the third set, it is a tie break and whosoever reaches ten points first is the winner. Each time you serve, you either get a point or your opponent gets it.
