fifth set
Tennis tiebreaker round
The fifth set is the decisive final set in a tennis match that has reached two sets apiece.
Unlike earlier sets, fifth sets in Grand Slam tournaments traditionally have no tiebreaker, continuing until one player leads by two games—sometimes producing marathon contests.
The match went to a fifth set.
The term evokes drama and physical endurance, as players battle through exhaustion at the match's climax.
