What is a sport?
Two men were playing tennis. They played five sets and each man won three sets.
The two men were partners playing doubles. Given the way the question was worded, andy, karnov, and anonsage's answer works. It just wasn't what I intended.

It was doubles tennis, and the two men were on the same team. Meaning that they won 3/5, and their opponents lost the 5 set match...
ReplyDeleteor, they were playing singles, but not against each other
ReplyDeleteThey were not playing against each other?
ReplyDeleteOR It's Impossible!
ReplyDeleteor, it says "The two men were playing tennis." It never says against each other. But, I like the first answer the best.
