Do they just keep playing the third set?

match can't end in a tie breaker, they are only for the first two sets

Thanks. So they just keep playing the 3rd set until somebody wins by 2 games?

the US open plays tiebreaker in the final set. while Australian, french and wimbleldon do not. You play until you win by 2 games.

Correct. In the mens, the same occurs in the 5th.

Thank you. I love the US open so this is probably why I was a little lost.
