It seems silly doesn\u2019t it?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a new tennis player, it might take some adjusting to calling the score \u201c15-love\u201d instead of \u201c15-0\u201d. Tennis has become associated with \u201clove\u201d from a commercial level to memes online. \u201cLove means nothing in tennis\u201d. \u201cDon\u2019t date a tennis player, because they don\u2019t care about love.\u201d Just a few of the \u201chits\u201d. This seemingly peculiar word choice in tennis actually has some hidden meaning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-table-of-contents uagb-toc__align-left uagb-toc__columns-1  uagb-block-521f46d9      \"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-scroll= \"1\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-offset= \"30\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uagb-toc__wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uagb-toc__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTable Of Contents\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uagb-toc__list-wrap \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ol class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><li class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><a href=\"#what-does-love-mean-in-tennis\" class=\"uagb-toc-link__trigger\">What does Love Mean in Tennis?<\/a><li class=\"uagb-toc__list\"><a href=\"#fake-theories-about-love-origins\" class=\"uagb-toc-link__trigger\">Fake Theories About \u201cLove\u201d Origins\u00a0<\/a><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does Love Mean in Tennis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before getting into the history of \u201clove\u201d in tennis, let\u2019s clarify what it means in a match. Essentially, it means nothing. Zero. When scoring a game, the points for a player go from love to 15, 30, and 40 (before deuce and advantage). The losing player\u2019s score will be referred to as \u201clove\u201d by the scorekeeper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To review, at the start of a match, when you or your opponent go to serve, the score is love-love, which means zero-zero. The second point, for whoever is winning, will be called 15-love or love-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing more specific is documented, whether it was in a certain location or certain famous match\u2013all we know is that \u201clove\u201d was first used in the latter half of the 19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fake Theories About \u201cLove\u201d Origins&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since no one knows the real origin of \u201clove\u201d in tennis, many theories try to make sense of its meaning. One theory is that a player who has nothing, or is scoreless, stays on and plays for the love of the game. So, when the score is called 40-love, (40-nothing), it implies that the losing player might not be doing well in the specific game, but they love to play and that is good enough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This theory is connected to a historic expression. \u201cFor love\u201d meant a game or competition that had no monetary value\u2013it wasn\u2019t for money. This would be the modern equivalent of \u201cfor fun\u201d. So, according to this theory, \u201clove\u201d in a tennis match pays homage to this expression.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mytennislessons.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/mytennislessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Blog-banner-ad-trophy-colored-figure.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mytennislessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Blog-banner-ad-trophy-colored-figure.png 700w, https:\/\/mytennislessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Blog-banner-ad-trophy-colored-figure-300x86.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Another theory goes back to the Flemish word for honor, or \u201clof\u201d. Similar to the previous theory, this one suggests that the losing player is there for their honor. From \u201clof\u201d arrived \u201clove\u201d, according to this theory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A different theory suggests that it dates back to the number zero\u2019s resemblance to an egg. In sports, it was common to say a score of zero was like a duck or goose egg. How is this a connection? Well, the French word for egg is \u201cl\u2019oeuf\u201d, so the suggestion is that \u201clove\u201d emerged from zero\u2019s comparison to an egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is that we will never know why tennis and \u201clove\u201d are connected. All of these theories could be promising, but no one knows the truth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite not knowing where love comes from, this word is forever connected to tennis. As a tennis player, even when you have no points, try and imagine that you are still playing for the love of the game!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike just about every other sport, tennis doesn&#8217;t just use numbers to keep score.
