In the original versions of modern tennis, the points in tennis were thought to take about 15 seconds each, so the score went from zero to 15 to 30 to 45 and then "game". However, to keep the number of syllables the same between zero and game, the 3-syllable "45" was shortened to the 2-syllable "40".

Why tennis counts from 15?

Why is tennis scored the way it is?
Tennis scoring goes 15, 30, 40. You have to win by more than two points or it is a deuce. Then , whoever gets the next point, has an advantage. When you get another point right after, you've won the round. If not, the score goes back to deuce. That is the first game. When you've done it twice, it is called a set. On the third and final time, it is called a match. If you have won at least two out of three rounds, you've won the entire game. It's very confusing. This scoring system came from France. It is said to come from the fact that a clock face was used on court, with a quarter move of the hand to indicate a score of fifteen, thirty, and forty-five. When the hand moved to sixty, the game was over.With regard to when the game is at deuce: when the game reaches the tie score of 40-40, it is properly referred to as "40-40". Only after the game returns to a tie score from someone having the advantage point, should the game be referred to as being at "deuce". Some unschooled tennis players will refer to a match at 30-30 as deuce. While 30-30, or 40-40 is the equilavalent of deuce, it is not properly referred to as deuce.

Why are tennis points 15 30 40?
Sorry for the long answer but there is some background to this: Tennis was created a while back by the high-class citizens of some country (anyone know?). The high-class citizens wished to keep their game class-specific and therefore they set up the weird scoring in tennis in an attempt to deter the poor from taking up the game. Because the scoring was unusual, the hope was that the lower-class would not be able to understand the game and therefore not take it up.
