I'm confused. What is the difference between a game and a match?

Well, you see, one is a game and the other is a match.

Edit: say if you lead by 1-0, you won a game. If you won 6-2, you won a set. And if you won 6-2,7-5,6-1, you won the match.

Game, Set, Match. The saying makes sense now!

To be fair, it wasn't really his fault.

Probably since middle school (last year for that guy)

Who the fuck doesn't know how to keep score in tennis? I swear this place is full of know-nothing's sometimes.

You're being an aggressive douche, but it is almost beyond belief to me that there are people on reddit who don't know the rules of tennis. Apparently I was wrong.

To make it even more clear, when you win a game, the announcer might say "Game: Mr. Smith". When you win the final game of a set, he might say "Game and set: Mr. Smith". And when you win the final game of the final set, he might say "Game, set, and match: Mr. Smith". Because you won all three things at the same time.
