One possible origin of tennis is
that it started in Egypt and was named after a town called Tinnis, and the
other idea about its origin is that it came from the French word tenez.

- The possible origin of the word ‘serve’ in tennis comes from when Henry
VIII played tennis in the 14th century. He was so fat that a servant had to
throw a ball up to him or ‘serve’ him.
3
- A
possible origin of the word ‘love’ instead of zero in tennis is the
French word for egg, ‘l’oeuf’ which has a similar shape to a zero.
They probably said ‘l’oeuf’ because it sounded nicer than ‘zero’.
