Alright — let’s break down “Any Set to Nil – No“ in tennis sports betting step-by-step so it’s crystal clear.
1. Meaning
In tennis, “Any Set to Nil” refers to whether a player will win a set without conceding a single game — i.e., winning the set 6–0.
- Any Set to Nil – Yes = At least one set ends 6–0 for any player.
- Any Set to Nil – No = No set in the match ends 6–0 for either player.Even a 6–1, 6–2, 6–3 score does not count — it must be 6–0 to be “nil.”
2. How “No” Wins or Loses
Winning scenario (Any Set to Nil – No)
You win your bet if:
- Every set in the match has at least 1 game won by each player.
- Example scores:
- 6–3, 6–4
- 6–2, 3–6, 6–4
- 7–6, 6–1
Losing scenario
You lose your bet if:
- At least one set ends 6–0 to either player.
- Example scores:
- 6–0, 6–4 (loss — first set was 6–0)
- 6–3, 0–6, 6–4 (loss — second set was 0–6)
3. Detailed Examples
| Match Score | Outcome for “Any Set to Nil – No” | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 6–3, 6–4 | Win | No set ended 6–0 |
| 6–2, 7–5 | Win | No set ended 6–0 |
| 6–0, 6–3 | Loss | First set ended 6–0 |
| 3–6, 6–0, 6–4 | Loss | Second set ended 6–0 |
| 7–6, 4–6, 6–2 | Win | No set ended 6–0 |
4. Key Things to Remember
- “Nil” means zero games won in a set.
- The player who wins the 6–0 set does not matter — it could be either side.
- Even one 6–0 set voids your “No” bet immediately.
5. Betting Tips
- Avoid heavy mismatches – Strong favourites vs. much weaker opponents often produce 6–0 sets (especially in early rounds or qualifiers).
- Look for close matchups – Players ranked closely together are less likely to produce a “bagel” set.
- Check recent form – If a player has a history of “bageling” opponents (e.g., Iga Świątek in women’s tennis), betting “No” is risky.
- Clay courts vs. Hard/Grass – Clay often has fewer bagels because breaks of serve are more common, but games tend to be more competitive.
- Best-of-5 matches – In Grand Slams (men’s singles), longer formats give more chances for a 6–0 to appear — making “No” riskier.
