I have a question.Why do the players in this match change sides in the 5th set ?Is it because it is the last set?

Hi Sourav,

That is a rule of the game.  IN the last set of a match when the first player reaches 5 points the players change ends.  This is to make sure that both players get the same conditions in case there is something that favours one end.

Does this apply for 3 set matches also?
