To win in straight sets is to win without dropping a set which means winning 3 sets straight without dropping one for men and the same with 2 sets in women’s tennis. For example, if Person A beat Person B in straight sets then they would have won the first, second and third set resulting in there being no need for the fourth and fifth sets.
Originally, a straight set means one in which the winning score is 6, i.e. it’s won at the first opportunity. Thus to win straight sets is a relatively comfortable win.
