1. matches

   A match is a tool for starting a fire. Typically, matches are made of small wooden sticks or stiff paper. One end is coated with a material that can be ignited by friction generated by striking the match against a suitable surface. Wooden matches are packaged in matchboxes, and paper matches are partially cut into rows and stapled into matchbooks. The coated end of a match, known as the match "head", consists of a bead of active ingredients and binder, often colored for easier inspection. There are two main types of matches: safety matches, which can be struck only against a specially prepared surface, and strike-anywhere matches, for which any suitably frictional surface can be used. Because of the substance used to coat each match, this makes them non-biodegradable.

Examples of Matches in a Sentence

1. Dmitry Garnega:

   We wanted to do everything officially, to broadcast matches. We appealed to FIFA. We were basically told to buzz off.

2. Rafael Nadal:

   Me and my coaches knew he (Struff) was going to play aggressively, it was one of those matches where every point counts, he put me under a lot of pressure so I had to play through that but my serve was solid throughout, i'm aware that I was facing someone who has beaten Tsitsipas and Goffin this week so I'm very happy that I was able to win.

3. Kei Nishikori:

   The first set I played really good tennis. I had some tough times, but this score shows I was dominating a little bit, i'm still not 100 percent yet, but feeling pretty strong. We'll have to see after a couple of more matches, but right now I feel good.

4. Health Emergency Coordinator Fernando Simon:

   The department for sport have agreed this with the players. That decision did not come from the health department as it's not something we considered when evaluating the risks, we haven't given any firm answer as we are obviously not in a position to do so yet but it is true that the health minister has committed to evaluating the risks. And if a region is in phase three (fans attending matches) will be evaluated.

5. Marc Watson:

   We've made a great start with two of the biggest leagues in the world and we'll be the only place to see matches like El Classico.
