In tennis, the term 'love' means 0 points

The answer is True.

Explanation

The origin is debated, but the leading theory traces it to the French "l'oeuf" (the egg) whose shape resembles a zero, much like the "duck" in cricket. Another theory comes from the old phrase "playing for love", meaning playing for nothing but honor.
