Since they refuse to adapt a real point scoring system, I say they eliminate the confusion (when my son asks me how many points Venus has, I have to go into this long, only-serious-fans-allowed lecture about how they score the friggin thing) by adapting totally meaningless names for the score levels.
Instead of Love-15-30-40-game, we'll call them Dingy-Magma-Toast-Buzzsaw-Cream Puff. Or something. That way when my son asks, "What's the score?" I can say fun things like "Cream Puff-Dingy".

"Toast" should be zero, that way we could say something like "Seles was toast." |

Croissant>Fishbone would be my pick for win without points against |
|
| |
But keep the win-by-2 business. I've always liked that aspect of tennis. It should be used in other sports. |

How about 'croissant' instead of 'advantage'. |

[ravenswood] I love when they do that! |

At work the other day, out of idle curiosity (or complete boredom perhaps) I read the introduction to a textbook about commodities trading that started out with an analogy saying that commodities trading *seems* complicated but is actually as simple and strightfowrd as greeting someone on the street before launching into the most utterly abstruse, arcane and downright impenetrable screed I can recall reading. |

I liked extreme and unintentional irony. |
