In tennis, a golden set is a set won without losing a single point. Because a standard set requires six games and each game normally requires at least four points, the player must win at least 24 consecutive points to complete a 6–0 set.
The achievement is far rarer than an ordinary 6–0 set, often called a bagel. A player can win every game and still fail to produce a golden set by dropping even one point. “Love” refers only to a score of zero; it is not the specific name for winning an entire set without conceding a point.
The best-known professional example came at the 2012 Wimbledon Championships, when Yaroslava Shvedova won the first set against Sara Errani without surrendering a point. Bill Scanlon had previously achieved the feat in a 1983 professional event. A golden match is a different and even rarer accomplishment: winning every point in an entire match, rather than just one set.
