In a game of tennis the word Love is used to represent the score of a player who has not scored any point. But it is quite mysterious about why the term Love is used. It is most commonly referred that Love represents the French word L’oeuf meaning an Egg to describe the shape of the number zero. But that seems to be sometimes very unlikely when we read Oxford English Dictionary that suggests that the term might mean the colloquial phrase For Love meaning the looser played for the love of the game.
