Have you ever questioned yourself - why 0-0 is called "love all" in tennis??? You may think tennis is the most loved game or tennis sending message to love everyone.But it is nothing to relate with "LOVE".
This is derived from the country from where the game started.Love in tennis is the corruption of the french word "l'eouf" which means the egg which has the shape of zero.
Tennis is the ancestor of all racket games started to play in the 14th century and this "love all" scoring format is also used in badmiton,volley ball,table tennis....
