partie décisive : Certains ouvrages utilisent «partie» comme synonyme de «manche» ou «set». Cependant, le terme «partie» est aussi utilisé comme synonyme de «match» pour désigner l'ensemble des manches. Le terme «partie décisive» peut donc porter à confusion et devrait être évité. 4, record 2, French, - set%20d%C3%A9cisif
