Men's tennis is played as whomever can get three of five first.

Answer 4

Unlike women's tennis, which you have to win the best of three sets (get 2 to win), in men's you have to play best of five sets (win 3 sets to win). When they play a fifth set, that means that both players have 2 sets each.

they only do in majors. if they each have 2 sets. in wimbledon they play no tiebreak in 5th set (its win by 2)

Answer 6

In many of the tournaments, Gentleman's tennis will play best of 5 sets whereas Women's tennis will play a best of 3. It's just how it's been for a long time.

Answer 7

All open grand slams - Australia, French, Wimbledon & US plus the Davis cup are 5 setters to determine a winner for a 3 out of 5 must match. This will ensure the better player to win over the other.

Answer 8

men's is different than womens. It's best out of five as opposed to best out of three in womens.

In men's it's five when it's a tie (2-2) so I guess you can call the 5th set a tie breaker
