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. 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.

2. Ash Barty:

   If people can watch my matches, great. If they can't, they can't. That's up to the broadcasters, not me.

3. Donna Vekic:

   That was a tough match - I knew she was going to play well because she's already had a few matches on grass, it was my first match so I was struggling a little bit to find some rhythm, but I think winning 7-6 in the third is very good for my confidence.

4. Stefanos Tsitsipas:

   I am satisfied with my results since Estoril. I had a lot of matches on clay. I think that's important coming into a tournament like the French Open.

5. Briton Murray:

   You have to expect the unexpected against him, i feel like I have done a good job of kind of weathering the storms, he always has some periods in the matches where he's on fire and hits some unbelievable shots.
