Show Love AU,' Tennis Term The expression "love all" in tennis ten-nis evidently had its origin about 1742 when the expression "love" was first used in Hoyle's "whist" to indicate a game without scores. Hence, it came to mean no score on either side. Its first use in connection with tennis was appar-' appar-' ently in 1833 in a book called the "Parson's Daughter," in which appears ap-pears the line, "Can't make a hazard haz-ard and has lost two love games." J. Marshall in his book on tennis in 1878 defined "love" as nothing scored on either side. |
