@Prof: or could come from the French lâheure (the hour) if you accept the theory that they first kept the score on the court clock. 0 (the hour), 15, 30, 40 mn⊠Which in turn came from the way the game of paume was played (the ancestor of tennis).
Thatâs the story Iâve heard. The term âMaydayâ also comes from the French. More to the point, it comes from an English speakerâs mishearing of French. The original phrase is âMâaidez!â meaning âHelp me!â To an English speaker, this sounds like the words âmay day.â A French speaker could also say "aidez moi,â which doesnât sound like anything in English. If your plane is spinning, though, you probably want to say whatâs quickest.

And why does she look so good in a tennis outfit and so dumpy in her regular clothes?

Itâs not that she hasnât learned the rules- itâs that she only knows them in theory. This is the first opportunity to put them into practice.

My main issue with Tennis was playing outdoors in the hot sun. Raquetball in an air conditioned court works better for me, and I get a better workout.

With raquetball, you donât have to spend any time chasing the ball out of the court.
