Please tell me if this sentence is OK.

Hi vsuresh. "Patient enough in" has only one result in Corpus of Contemporary American English, and even in that sentence it's not used in the same way as yours. "I don't think I was patient enough in the third set".

Hi Nugso
I think the third set here is the object of the preposition and in my sentence I think what comes after in is its object and thus it seems OK.
