How Is A Pro Set Different From A Typical Set?

Both types of sets require the player to win by a margin of two games.
What Are The Advantages To A Pro Set?
A pro set usually shortens the amount of time of total game play. In a typical tennis match, players play anywhere from three to five sets and whoever wins the most sets wins the match. A match that is best of three and playing advantage sets will play a minimum of 12 games. A pro set match will play a minimum of eight.
Where Are Pro Sets Typically Used?
A pro set is typically used for youth athletes. At the high school level, pro sets are typically used at the freshman and JV level.
Tennis matches in a typical format can last long hours. For athletes who have limited time to play (after school for example), the pro set helps to speed things up.
