I love tennis

tennis_magazine_china_october_2007_tennis_terracotta_warriorsSmall tips first:

What is the origin of ‘love’ meaning ‘nil’ in tennis scoring”?

Answer:

(a) “to play for love” and (b) “love” = nil in tennis (love-set; love-game, etc.)

Oxford English Dictionary seems to support this view.

I have learnt Tennis for five years and i love it! However, Dublin’s weather seems not to support this game – rainy and windy make outdoor Tennis impossible. As summer is coming soon i hope i can play it quite often, just to keep myself practiced. I would like to join Lansdowne tennis club in D4. They hold social competitions every Thuesday. Just to play with different partners. I think this is a good way to know friends and also keep myself improved. 

I am looking forward the summer’s coming~~~~
