In other words, playing on the court, challenging yourself, is the reason for still playing despite having the score of love.

True(r) OriginsĪnother, and far more accepted, theory is that this sense of love comes from the expression 'to play for love.' The idea is that a person who fails to make any points doesn't care because they are playing for love of the game, rather than playing to win (which, really, every player is trying to do but when you can't get it together at least show good sportsmanship and play for love) or playing for monetary stakes. But this turns out to be folk etymology: the problem is the lack of evidence of l'œuf being used in French to mean 'zero.' The French use zéro to mean 'zero' or 'naught,' and un œuf ('an egg') and les œufs ('the eggs') for the food. English players mispronouncing the French word supposedly influenced the change to love, and the rest is history, so to speak. It has been suggested that the 'tennis' sense of love is derived from French l'œuf (the vowel in this French word has no English equivalent, but approximations would be something like 'LERFF' or 'LUFF') œuf means 'egg.' It is said that when the game was imported into France from England, the French used the word l'œuf to mean 'zero,' due to the resemblance of an egg to the written figure 0-just as a score of zero is sometimes called a ' goose egg' in American English or a ' duck/duck's egg' in British (all of those terms hatched before tennis' usage of love). The first theory (like tennis' point system) doesn't add up however, it is a popular one and it makes for an attractive story. (As for the point system, we're still scratching our heads about the random 40 15 to 30 begins a pattern that 40 doesn't follow.) A False Theory Etymologists aren't exactly sure how love came to mean 'zero,' but, as we said, there are theories. For example, if the player serving wins the first point of a game, then the score is '15 - love' or 'fifteen (to) love' in their favor. The points progress from love to 15, 30, and 40, which are relatively equivalent to 0,1, 2, and 3 in points per game. Frankly, how love became a word for zero is baffling, but so is the overall scoring system for tennis. Love as a word for a score of zero has been used in the sport of tennis since the late 1800s.
