'Love'

Sometimes i really wonder why the word 'love' is used in tennis. There are a whole range of words that can be used eg:
*Zero, *Zlich *Zip *Nothing *Nil
So why is it love? Love is a positive word and it is hardly positive if you are losing!!! is it to make you feel better? Is it so your opponents can laugh at you? It is to make you feel more bad about yourself, giving love a bad name? I suppose one reason why is that it sound more kinder i would much rather be 6 love then 6 zilch. Mabey, someone who has no idea about tennis would think that you are winnning. Love is much better then any number!! :) I suppose why i am having a rant is that i lost a tennis match today 6-love. wasn't the reason i got into tennis!!!
There is only one instance in which i would be gald to be 6-love. If i where playing Rodger Federer, from switzerland(One of the best tennis players all time) and Christophe Rochus, Frenchman(Definate eye candy) in a doubles match!!! There would be lots &lots & lots of thing to keep my mind off the score!!!! :0
