Best Answer

Women play the first to win 2 out of a total of 3 sets.

Men usually play the first to reach 3 out of a total of 5 sets; but in many tournaments now, they simply play as the women - the first to reach 2 sets out of 3.

In the ATP World Tour, it is usually 2 out of 3 sets with no ad scoring and a 10 point super-tiebreaker instead of a full third set. During Grand Slams, with the exception of Wimbledon, it is a full 2 out of 3 with ad scoring and full third set. At Wimbledon, they play 3 out of 5 sets.

How many tennis players are needed for a game of Canadian doubles?

Canadian doubles requires three players. This is two-on-one competition. In other words, this is doubles vs. singles.
