Tennis Scoring is Sequentially Dumb

from Sports R Dumb · host Joey Held, Sean Hill

You cross home plate in baseball and that's a score. A basket in basketball is a score. But tennis scoring is pretty bonkers: Love, 15, 30, 40, game. We're diving into the history of where "love" comes from in scoring, and trying to determine once and for all where this wacky scoring system came from. We've never done so much research for an episode, so enjoy our hard work! Plus, a concerning tweet about boys from Cristiano Ronaldo and a silly sports cliche about the measurement of sports.
