No two game advantage needed
[edit]If there was no 2 game advantage required how come the last set in the final was 9-7? (––––) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mobile mundo (talk • contribs) 17:17, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
Before 1884, the winner of the next game at five-games–all took the set in every match except the All-Comers final and the challenge round, which were won by the player who had at least six games and at least two games more than his opponent. This advantage format was introduced for the final sets of early rounds in 1884, and used for all sets in all rounds from 1887 to 1969.
