Hi Pretty 3
I had to think about this one. It�s not clear cut.
I did a bit of a google and I think that these sites explain it nicely.

what is the difference between a [tennis] game and a match? what is the difference between a game and a set? Thank you.
BBC Learning English says: A MATCH is divided up in to SETS and sets are divided up in to GAMES. In men �s tennis a player normally has to get 3 sets to win a match. In women �s tennis you have to get 2. To win a set you have to win 6 games - but you also have to get 2 more games than the other player. If the score gets to 6-6, the players have to play a "tiebreak". The first player to get to seven points or more by two clear points wins the tiebreak and the set. To win a game you need to win four points, but if the players win 3 points each, the score is 40-40 and one of the players has to win 2 extra points to win the game!
This is interesting also: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/learnit/learnitv74.shtml
Hope this helps!
Cheers
