Did you ever wonder how tennis came up with that crazy
scoring system?
The rules of the new game of lawn tennis were drawn up by the
Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1875. Scoring derived from real,
or royal, tennis, which had its origins in medieval cathedral
cloisters. The name comes from the French habit of calling out
tenez! (take this!) before serving. In real tennis, each exchange
was worth 15 points, the score of 40 being an abbreviation for 45.
Deuce is a corruption of a deux (meaning two consecutive exchanges
needed to win). Love is either a corruption of l'oeuf (an egg) or
playing not seriously but for the love of the game.
