Best 3 out of 5 match > Limit about 58 minutes
Best 4 out of 7 match > Limit about 78 minutes
You do the math
But theoretically since there is no sudden death & you have to win by 2 points , a match could go on forever like in some tennis tournaments (like Wimbledon & French Open till 2022 but no more ) where the final set is win by 2 games & no tie breaker
