Why Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupati are not playing together?

Someone already answered love, so I'll try "all". "All" isn't just used in tennis...it's used in quite a few sports. It basically means that both opponents have the same score, so "all" the players are tied. Instead of saying "15 to 15", you can say "15 all".Which Australians are playing in the Australian Open?
"all"just means that both players have that score. Many sports use that term. "Love" came from the term of "l'oeuf" which is french for egg. (The use of 'goose-egg' for a zero score is common in baseball.)To find out more go to...
