Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupati played against each other in a ‘friendly’ lawn tennis match. The rules for the match were as under:

In a match of five sets, a player is said to win if he wins 3 sets (for e.g. if the player wins the first three sets, then the game stops there and the 4th and 5th sets are not played.)

For winning a set, a player has to win at least six games and the number of games won by the winner and the loser must at least differ by two.

If both the players win 6 games each in a particular set, then the set enters a tie‐breaker and then the winner of the tie‐breaker wins that set by 7‐6.

(It is given that none of the sets in the match entered a tie‐breaker.)
