8 Games, who ever reach 8 wins the match, have to win by two games thought.

Yea Danny is correct, and you will play a tie break if you can't win by two...!

yes up the 8, tie break at 7-7 I believe, it's been a while since I've played one, heh.
8 game pro sets are how most college tennis teams score their doubles matches. So I wouldn't say its a waste of time exactly.

There are variations of the pro set, but the pro set is tiebreak at 8-8. Any other type of proset is usable, but must be CLEARLY spelled out in the tournament sheet before the tournament begins.

You can't win 9-7 if the rule is that you play the breaker at 7-7, only if you play the breaker at 8-8 could someone had possibly won the set 9-7.

I like the pro set concept in a recreational setting. Sometimes I play in a round-robin weekend tournament and the pro set avoids having long 3 setters and gives more people the chance to play in a shorter time frame, and with less waiting. Maybe it's not appropriate for competitive scenarios, but it has it;s uses.

In this type of set, there is "no ad" scoring in which you don't go to ad in, ad out. From what I've seen in person, the purpose of this is to get the players through the set faster.

Why is it called a pro set, when pros do not play them?
