The scoring system in tennis uses the numbers 15, 30, and 40 instead of a simpler numerical sequence because it is believed to have originated from an older French game called jeu de paume, where points were counted using a clock face. The system was eventually adapted into tennis, and the numbers 15, 30, and 40 were kept to maintain tradition and historical significance.
