Best Answer

A set in tennis ends when a player reaches 6 games with a margin of at least 2 games over his opponent. A set can also be won by 7 games to 5.

In most situations, should the set reach 6-6 in games, a 12-point tiebreaker is played. This tiebreaker counts as 1 game. Whoever wins the tiebreaker wins the set 7-6. In grand slams (Australian Open, Wimbledon, French Open, US Open) 6 point tiebreakers are played rather than 12 point tiebreakers.

In the fifth set of the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the French Open, when a set reaches 6-6 in games, the set continues as usual until one player achieves a 2-game advantage. The set can end 8-6 or 100-98 or even higher, as long as there is a 2-game differential.
