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".
