Another oddity: Once a game has reched "deuce" (40-40) it is no longer scored numerically. In order to win, you have to win two consecutive points, so it is either "deuce" (tied) or "advantage player", until somebody scores two consecutive points and wins. The score 30 - 30 is sometimes called "little deuce".

No idea why they used increments of 15. However how about this?: In a game favored and played by royalty, some King was neck-and-neck in a match when his opponent scored that third point and instead of pulling ahead by 15, King I. Neverloose suddenly declared that the third point only counted as 10. His opponent, I. Wannakeepmyhead, said , "Oh yes, of course!" and so it was. Remember, a foot was the size of "The King's" foot(which king? when? does it change with kings?) and we sill use that today. A bit fanciful but I think plausible. Always enjoy your channel!

I had a "Book of Facts" as a preteen that asserted that the tennis scoring system was based upon the weight of cannonballs (in lbs no less) fired by the opposing English and French navies during the 100 Years War. Even before the internet was invented, there were a lot of random interjections by uninformed spectators.

I’ve played tennis my entire life. I’ve thought about the scoring and I think it’s actually very simple and less confusing if you were to score 1,2,3,4 game. I know it sounds weird but in the heat of the moment it’s easier to remember 30-15, 30-30, 30-love 40-15 than 2-1, 2-2, 2-0, 3,1. Most people get confused about the score during tiebreaks which are scored 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (tiebreaks end when a player gets to 7 first but ahead by at least 2 points). Most disputes about the score happen during tiebreaks which indicate when under pressure it’s hard remembering simple number patterns. Just my thoughts from experience. Love the history of Tennis!

Since I was a kid I played many sports often and for several years. The summer before I started High School, my mom thought to Sign me up for tennis since she seen teenagers play to before and thought it looked fun. When she said I had tennis lessons I wasn’t happy. She said just go and try it. So I did. It ended up being a sport I enjoyed and was naturally good at. Even the tennis instructor said I’m a natural at tennis. In high school I played all 4 years. Varsity, we had to play 7 sets. Of course, was on the JV team as a freshman. Anyways, I love smashing the overheaders and the opponent was so mad at me. 😂 But that’s what I was taught in tennis lessons to smash them hard so I could get an easy win for points. I was mostly a singles player meaning just me against 1 opponent. There are doubles meaning 2 people play against two other people and they have to work together and call if they think they can return the ball. My backhand hits when so good it’s somewhat difficult for some people. Anyways, I never was good enough like those tennis pros, but good enough to win some matches at least. 😆

I read a book a while ago about tennis that included the history of the points system. According to the book, it was based on the clock face as suggested. The 40 came about due to duece - whoever got "advantage" was moved to 45 on the clock face so the third point was kept at 40. This is what I read, and nothing was mentioned about the sets as far as I remember... although I tempted to go back and see if it is. To me it makes sense and possibly it's 6 for a set as a best of three sets needing 12 games - the 12 on a clock. This would mean each person has a clock face each, a minute hand for points, hour hand for games. That part is just a guess though 🤷🏻‍♂️

The counting system that uses approaching the nets makes a lot of sense. While not quite as prevalent today, my dad talked about how "attacking the net" was what everyone did, nearly every game. Today people still stalk about "net game" meaning how good a player performs when they are close to or approaching the net. While a player choses when to approach the net, I wonder if historically one approached the net as a rule. Perhaps as time went on, certain players didn't want to approach the net so they made "house rules": Call out your score, but both players start at the base line and choose where they go from there. Modern tennis has gone the way of much more power and faster tennis ball speed, while we see players use the net less in singles tennis. In doubles...someone is usually at the net.

Almost didn’t recognize Thoughty2 without the stache/suspenders combo

Glad you dropped the stache. Looks so much better with just a little scruff.

This has bugged me since i first became aware of tennis and a big fan back in the mcenroe, agasi, conners and borg days. Thank YOU my friend for telling me im not crazy for thinking this scoring system made no sense.

Obviously, they changed 45 to 40 to make Thoughty2 sound like 42, and I don't know how but it works! Thanks for the tennis history lesson, Forty... oops, I mean Thoughty2.

My theory has always been, shouting 15, 30, 40 during a match, made it much easier to comprehend. Sometimes it can be noisy or hard to hear if the other person is turned the other way when shouting. 30 and 40, for example, could easily be heard as the other. I don't know how well my theory holds up in French, but it is fairly solid in English lol it's similar to saying bravo for B or delta for D over the radio/phone.

Zero Today ... :-) Well said Sir! 10:25 After 45 the counting became unclockable so they stopped it and chose 40 as a sign that this was the new way of scoring the game. Initially at 40:40 it was Ducks as in cricket but the posh toffs chose Deuce instead as it seemed less plebian. It is apocryphal but some say that in those days to have so many repetative ducks one needed a lot of Djuice in one's loins.

Hi my name is Ramona. My partner Paul and I were watching your tennis video and he had an idea for you about why they scored it the way they did. He believes that it all comes done to something as simple as only having 1 set of the scoring numbers to pin on the score board. 15 uses 1 and 5 30 uses the 3 and 0 40 uses the 4 and 0 2 zeros you say well that's the 2 starting zeros. what number is left number 2 hence using the 2 (duce) as the decider number for the winning round which they then have 6 rounds of. Totally blew my mind how about you. Cheers Ramona,

My dad was a tennis champ that he got a scholarship for it when he was in high school. He made us kids play it all the time but i was really a a soccer person because of my built. That's also how my mom at my dad she noticed him from her dorm playing against the backboard head or two courts we had at our college.

Just a thought ... number 1 we haven't scored tennis the way we always did because as you mentioned the 45 got changed to 40 at some point for some reason ... Whatever reason they had to change 45 to 40 was obviously not so you could say the number faster ... because if that was the reason for change ... then why not change Fifteen to Ten for the same reasons ... Perhaps they changed it to 40 because 45 put you right onto the net which meant you could reach over the net to make a play ... so to prevent this they changed the last movement to 40 instead of 45 ... but who really knows ... Thus tennis's scoring system is truly an enigma ...
