Tennis: Which of the following is a true statement for winning a set.

a
a set can be won by a score of 5-3
b
a set can be won by a score of 6-3
c
a set can be won by a set of 6-5
d
None of the above

Answer 1

A player must win at least six games to win a set. A player must also win by two games in order to win the set. So if a game is played to a 6-5 score in the set, then the leading player must win a seventh game in order to win the set.
