What is "love"?

In tennis and squash, "love" is a term used to describe a score of zero. For example, if the score is 15-love, it means one player has 15 points, and the other has zero. The term is commonly used to indicate that a player has not scored any points in a game or set. It is part of the unique scoring system in tennis and squash, where points are counted as 15, 30, 40, and then game point, with "love" representing no points.
