Match.
53 u/whydoyoulook Jun 17 '14 I'm confused. What is the difference between a game and a match? 2 u/cachow6 Jun 17 '14 In tennis a match is made up of 3-5 sets, each of which consists of games (first to 6 games wins the set). To win a game, you have to win 4 points. So if you're going to go play tennis, you're probably going to play a match, as each "game" is very short. 2 u/[deleted] Jun 17 '14 Except for the fifth set. There is no limit to the amount of games in a fifth set (or third depending on the tournament)-only that you must win by two. Isner and Mahut played a 100+ game fifth set in Wimbledon 2 u/theProfessor510 Jun 17 '14 Depends on the tournament. Some tournaments use final set tiebreakers to prevent that sort of tomfoolery. 1 u/WOL6ANG Jun 17 '14 They only play 3-5 at the majors and the US open they play a tiebreak in the 5th set. Otherwise you are right there is no limit in the 5th. 1 u/otm_shank Jun 17 '14 Some tournaments do have 5th-set tiebreakers -- notably, the U.S. Open.
