Because if it is 5-5 it means that nobody has yet broken the other player service (or if they have, then they have one break each). In tennis, especially men tennis, service is really important cause generally when you serve you are attacking instead of defending. Supose that the first to get 6 wins the set and nobody EVER breaks each other service in the game then when a set is 5-5 the first to serve in the set wins. And the FIRST to serve in the WHOLE match wins the match. > So 0, is not called zero, it’s called Love? wtf It's not love. It's l‘oeuf.
