In France,where tennis first
became popular,some people apparently
thought a big zero on the score-board
looked like an egg-and therefore called
it the egg,which is l'oeuf in French.
When tennis became popular in England,
the British copied the French and also
called the zero l'oeuf,but pronouced it
"love."
