It depends on the tournament and on the sex playing.

Generally men play a maximum of 5 sets ( best of 5 - first to win 3 sets ) and women play a max of 3 ( best of 3 - first to win 2 sets )

In some tournaments men play ( best of 3 )in all rounds or just the preliminary rounds.

Also remember that not all sets are the first to 6 games won or 7 games in the event of a tie break. In the last possible game of a match, the tiebreak situation changes and the winner must win by 2 clear games...
