At 6 all in a set, then you play a 7-point-tie break. Sometimes, you play a 10-point-tie break in the lieu of the third set... it depends.

To improve on this answer I have played tennis for years so in a set you play a tie breaker in a 5 all set

How is tennis different from soccer football and baceball?

tennis is a terrific sport in which the strongest oponent wins. when you are down 6-3 5-0 and 40-0 you can still win the match. ive seen this happen many times and ive eaven experienced it. it was the third set and tiebreak. i was loosing 6-4(tiebreak) and i won the match 8-6(tiebreak). tennis is different from soccer, or basketball. for example when the score is 8-0 against you is soccer and 20 seconds on the clock its IMPOSSIBLE for you to win but in tennis when you are donw 6-0 , 5-0 , 40-0 you still have a chance to win. this is why tennis is such a wonderfull sport

What does straight sets mean in a game of tennis?

To win in straight sets is to win without dropping a set which means winning 3 sets straight without dropping one for men and the same with 2 sets in womens tennis. For example- if Person A beat Person B in straight sets then he would have won the first, second and third set resulting in there being no need for the fourth an fifth sets. Originally a straight set means one in which the winning score is 6, ie it's won at the first opportunity. Thus to win straight sets is a relatively comfortable win
