In sports like tennis and badminton, "love all" means the score is 0-0, indicating neither player or team has scored any points yet at the start of the game or match. The term "love" for zero points is thought to originate from the French word "l'oeuf," meaning "egg," due to the egg's similar oval shape to the number zero, or from the idea of playing "for love" of the game.
