I’ve played tennis for over 50 years and understand that the “love” comes from the french for L’oeuf for egg and that a “0” resembles an egg. I wonder, does the Spanish players say “love” or do they say the equivalent of love “amor”? I would guess that everywhere if they aren’t saying “zero” in the language they are playing they are saying “love”.

It comes from the French l’oeuf, which means “egg” referring to the shape of a zero….

Or.. you want to embarrass the boys by forcing them to use words they are uncomfortable with.

…Why would they be so uncomfortable with saying that…?

Um means one in Portuguese, I expected TEMPLO S.U.D. to point that out.

The word “love” in tennis is derived from the French phrase “l’œuf” which means “the egg”.

Proof that Tennis was invented by a man. Only a Man would create a game where “Love” means “Nothing”
