If a set gets to 5 to 5, then they play two more games. If someone wins both games, he wins the set 7 to 5.

If each player wins one of the two games, then the score is 6 to 6 and they play a tiebreaker (first to seven points, but you have to win by two), and the winner of the tiebreaker wins the set.

When you win a set in a tiebreaker it basically counts as one game, so you win 7 to 6.
