The scoring system came from the French and may have represented seconds or time.
There are proposals to go to a simplified 4 pt system with advantages and deuces, but the purists balk at that idea.

no, the scores are 0 - 4 points. 0 pts = Love
1 pts = 15 pts
2 pts = 30 pts
3 pts = 45 pts
4 pts = game

Actually it is like this: 0, 15, 30, 40 and if your opponent catches up with you then it becomes Deuce, AD, Game but if your opponent catches up with you after 40 it is Game.

because the tennis people felt like counting by 15s.

(It's 0/Love, 15, 30, 40, and 60/Game)
I don't know, it's weird isn't it.
