0. Your opponent serves 4 double faults

 

[Bill Walker]

0. Your opponent serves 4 double faults

So the answer is 4

 

[dronefromsector7G]

So the answer is 4

4 double faults would be 8 shots, could be 12 if they had 4 lets as well

 

[Bill Walker]

4 double faults would be 8 shots, could be 12 if they had 4 lets as well

Yeah ok, 8

0. Your opponent serves 4 double faults

Perhaps I posed the question incorrectly and it should have been "in total"
I think they may have classed double faults as eight strikes of the ball, but I'm certain in tennis if you attempt to hit the ball on a serve but miss it, it is classed as a fault, so zero would still be correct
However, the contestant answered 8 (serve and a winning return) and it was correct
The next day they said they'd made an error and the answer should have been 4 ( 4 aces) but they allowed the contestant to keep the money he'd won

You phrased it ok, as you said ‘for a game to be won’ and not ‘for a player to win a game what’s the least amount of shots they must have’ which would be zero
