Question

'No points' in tennis game is called as

• A. moon ball
• B. love
• C. dead rubber
• D. dink

Hint:

Tennis Scoring in a Game: - 0 points = Love - 1 point = 15 - 2 points = 30 - 3 points = 40 - 40-40 = Deuce - Point after Deuce = Advantage (Ad-in for server, Ad-out for receiver) - Next point after Advantage wins the game. The origin of "love" for zero is debated, possibly from the French "l'œuf" (egg, for its shape like zero) or the English phrase "playing for love" (i.e., for no stakes).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In the scoring system of a tennis game: - 0 points is called "Love".
- 1st point is "15".
- 2nd point is "30".
- 3rd point is "40".
- 4th point wins the game (if the player is at least two points ahead).
If the score is tied at 40-40, it's called "Deuce.
" Other terms: - Moon ball: A type of tennis shot hit high and deep into the opponent's court, often with topspin.
- Dead rubber: In team competitions (like Davis Cup or Fed Cup), a match played after the overall outcome of the tie has already been decided.
It has no bearing on the final result of the team competition.
- Dink: A soft shot in tennis (and other racquet sports like pickleball) that drops just over the net.
Therefore, 'no points' in a tennis game is called "Love".
