    Actually, for matches officiated under the Point Penalty System theoretically I think it's zero serves. Players can be penalized up to 3 games for lateness, so if Player A was 11 minutes late for the match, he could start down 0-3. As they are warming up, it could start raining, suspending the match. When the match resumes, if Player B is 11 minutes late, it could be 3-all. The match could go on like this, where one player could get penalized 1 game for being up to 5 minutes late, 2 games up to 10 minutes, and 3 games up to 15 minutes. If the match continued to be suspended and resumed with one player or the other being late, you could arrive at that score without a single serve being struck!

    Probably not the answer you were looking for, but theoretically possible!
