Love in tennis is a variation of a French word meaning egg.

Love in tennis comes from the French l'ouef, which means the egg. Presumably those hilarious Renaissance inventors of tennis thought it'd be hilarious to call 0 an egg.

You got that right.
Love means nothing in tennis.

It means that since the score is zero, the rivalry hasnt started yet. Untill the rivalry starts ... it's all love :-)

Love does mean nothing.
On a serious note though, the folks ranting about eggs are right.

No, it means l'ouef or egg in French. Eggs are round, so is zero.
