In tennis, what is a 'love' score?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The score when a player has zero points.

In tennis, a “love” score refers to a situation when a player has zero points in a game. The term “love” is believed to originate from the French word “l’oeuf”, meaning “egg,” which symbolises the shape of zero. For example, if the score is 30–love, it means one player has 30 points while the opponent has none.
