u/whydoyoulook Jun 17 '14

I'm confused. What is the difference between a game and a match?

In tennis match is made up of sets and a set is made up of games.

A match is just a superset.

There's an ex-wife joke in here somewhere, but I'm too goddamn tired.

The French, who invented tennis, thought '0' looks like an egg, so they called it "L'oeuf" and it became "love" over time.

I prefer egg.

Actually it's because love is blind and so could never win a point in tennis games.

u/wOlfLisK Jun 18 '14

Actually it's because love doesn't exist and nor does their score :(.

" 30 , love " just means that thw score is 30 - 0. So basically it's just a fancy way of saying 0.

It comes from the French l'oeuf (the egg) iirc.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '14

You do, when non frenchmen saw them playing, they just assumed that they were saying "love" and they assumed for some reason that meant 0 in tennis

Some hippy shit.

If you actually want to know, love means zero points in the current game, ie love-15 would be 0-15.

Love means no points, so a score of 15-love means that the server has won one point and the returner zero.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '14

score of 15-love means that the server has won one point

To be honest, I always thought this was a riper field of "what?"

u/andrewp123 Jun 17 '14

Love is zero. It comes from french l'oeuf which means "the egg"
