What is a Golden set in Tennis?
A golden set is a set in which one player wins every single point — 24 points to 0 (6 games × 4 points each). Extraordinarily rare. Has only happened a handful of times in professional tennis history.
Example in a match
In a golden set, your opponent wins zero points across the entire set. You win 24 points in a row. Almost nobody has ever done this.
