because in the grand slam gentlemen's single, you will be declared as a winner after winning three sets (the best of 5 sets). nadal needs one more set to win the wimbledon title.

It is not only in the final of grand slam. but all round of grandslam: r1, r2, r3, r4, qf, and sf. but in other tourneys, player only needs to win 2 sets (the best of 3 sets).

the reasons for playing the third set because the rule is 'you must win 3 sets' (the best of 5 sets).

Answer 8

Grand Slam events for men are played at best of 3 sets. Only the women are played at best of 2 sets. This is because Grand Slam events are made tougher to win.

ATP events are mostly played at best of 2 sets because it's a gruelling season for the players.
