Tennis is scored the way it is to determine a clear winner based on points won during a match. The scoring system, with points like "15," "30," and "40," dates back to the origins of the game in the 19th century. Players must win at least four points to win a game, and matches are typically best of three or five sets. This scoring system allows for a fair and competitive way to determine the winner of a tennis match.
