Since the introduction of the tie-break system in 1970, a maximum of 65 games is possible in a five-set match (13 games per set including the tie-break); a maximum of 39 games is possible in a three-setter. Two men's matches (one singles, one doubles) have approached the 65-game maximum and six matches (two women's singles, two men's doubles, one women's doubles and one mixed doubles) have reached the 39-game, three-set maximum. (Note: Men's doubles switched to a best-of-three-sets format in 1993, giving men's doubles a 39-game maximum.)
