Philadelphia is a TERRIBLE place to live. I have been in Philadelphia, PA for my entire life. I was born here, went to college here, married and had a family here. If you are in search of a clean, peaceful, safe, friendly environment, this is NOT the place to be. You have been warned. 1 Replies.
A match is the whole game put together, the set is usually 3 small games played, and it is played the best 2 out of 3, whoever has the best 2 out of 3 wins the match (the entire game) I hope this makes sense! lol. :] Source(s): me.
The maximum number of sets in a match is five for men and three for women. Usually the first player to win six games wins a set but if the score becomes five-games-all, one player must be two games ahead to win the set. So a player must win the set 7-5 or 8-6 or 9-7 and so on. Until the 1970s, this meant sets could potentially last indefinitely. But in 1971 the All England Club introduced the tie break rule.
