A standard tennis set consists of a minimum of 6 games, but a player must win by at least 2 games to claim the set. This means the set can extend beyond 6 games if the score is close, for example, 7-5 or 8-6. If the score reaches 6-6, a tiebreak game is usually played to decide the winner of the set
. In summary:
- A player/team must win at least 6 games.
- They must be ahead by 2 games to win the set.
- If the score ties at 6-6, a tiebreak is played to determine the set winner.
This format is the most common in professional and recreational tennis matches
