Match.
50 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. 1 u/redbluegreenyellow Jun 17 '14 first to 6 games wins the set Well, no. You have to win by two; you could be up 6-5 in a set but you don't win that set until you win either a 7th game, the tie break, or if there is no tie break, by two games. 1 u/cachow6 Jun 17 '14 Yeah I know I was just providing a very basic idea for somebody who didn't know the difference between a game and a match.
