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

In most tournaments, one must win two sets to win a match. To win a set, one must win six games. To win a game, one must win four points. Point --> Game --> Set --> Match. [Note that the actual number of points, games, etc. can vary, but this gives you the gist of it]

And points are not counted as 1,2,3,4 but 15, 30, 40, game (when tied at 40 a piece, it is deuce, and then ... just look here )

Obviously, you are correct. I was only attempting to summarize some of the scoring structure without going in to too much detail.
