In a professional tennis match, there are typically three sets played in women's matches and five sets in men's matches, particularly in Grand Slam events. Players must win a majority of sets to claim victory. In women's matches, winning two out of three sets is sufficient, while men must secure three out of five. The format can influence player strategy, stamina management, and mental resilience during the match. These set structures contribute to the drama and intensity of tennis, as each set can bring different dynamics and pivotal moments in the competition.
