The scoring system in tennis evolved from an older system where points were counted in multiples of 15. The progression from 15 to 30 to 40 reflects this historical origin. The reason for this specific progression is not entirely clear, but it has become a traditional part of the game.

The scoring system in tennis progresses from 15 to 30 to 40 instead of increasing by 10 each time because it originated from a clock face where the hand moved from 0 to 15 to 30 to 45 (which was later simplified to 40).
