why 15 love 30 loveand 40 love at tennis, and not 1 love etc.. when scoring?

Question

is lawn tennis enlish

Answer 1

It is such a relatively simple(not easy be any means) game, they had to make something complicated about it to keep the peasants in Awe. It is the sport of Kings, after all.

Answer 2

Used to be based on a clock, ie 15, 30 45, game. 45 later became 40.

Answer 3

it somewhat is 15, 30 & 40 in each and each factor to tell apart that score from the score of the video games (one million - 6). The word "love" is a corruption of the french word for "Egg" as in Goose egg.( i think of it somewhat is L'oerff) yet that's purely a guess on the spelling.
