Question

Not including the final set, do the other sets have to be won by two games or by a tiebreak? Such as 6-4, 7-5?

Answer 2

you can win a set

60

61

62

63

64

75

or 76 in a tiebreak

Answer 3

Yes. Except for 7-6, which is determined by a tiebreaker.

Answer 4

Yes... and no. If you're opponent wins five or less games, you would have to win by two games. But, if you and your opponent are tied at six games apiece, then the set would go to a tiebreaker which you would have to win by (you guessed it) two points.

However, in Grand Slam events other than the US Open, where there is no final set tiebreaker, you would have to win that last set by (once again) two games.

That number seems to be the magic number in tennis...
