Tennis - Game Duration

A match lasts a maximum of 5 sets for men and three for women. A men's match ends when one side has won 3 sets and a women's match ends when one side has won 2 sets. Play is continuous, though in certain circumstances and some countries players are allowed to rest for up to 10 minutes after the 3rd set for men and the 2nd set for women. Play is never delayed to enable a player to regain his strength or to receive any advice. The umpire can suspend play indefinately if factors such as crowd disturbance are affecting play.
