I believe a set consists of six games. And the first person to win a (I'll say) three out of five sets (or whatever) wins the match?

Hi Kerrie, Picked up your reference to one of my novels, The Suffocating Sea. I like the classifications! As all my Inspector Horton novels are set against the backdrop of the sea, as 'marine mysteries,' I need to have something nautical in each title. Have had difficulty with the title of the one I am currently writing, but think I've cracked it now! I enjoy reading crime fiction (as well as writing it) and am just re-reading all of Dorothy L Sayers novels.

Best wishes.
