Why did venus and serena only play two matches when federrer and nadal play 5 sets?

Question

my family doesnt know anything about tennis and we need to find out because they wont quit asking me why!!!

Answer 1

No worries, its because the rules state it.

Women play best out of 3, therefore the first person to win 2 wins the game.

Men play best out of 5. The first person to win 3 wins the game.

Answer 2

That is because the regulation for women is best out of three. Men regulation is best out of five.

Answer 3

A tennis match comprises a number of sets, typically three for both men's and women's matches, the exception being at the major events (Wimbledon and the Australian, French and US Opens) where the men play best of five sets.[23] A set consists of a number of games, and games, in turn, consist of points.
