22)The origins of the X,Y and Z scores are believed to be medievalFrench[. It is possible that a clock face was used on court, with aquarter move of the hand to indicate a score of X, Y, and Z1. Whenthe hand moved to 60, the game was over. However, in order to
ensure that the game could not be won by a one-point differencein players' scores, the idea of A" was introduced. To make thescore stay within the "60" ticks on the clock face, the Z1 waschanged to Z. Therefore, if both players have Z, the first player toscore receives ten and that moves the clock . If the player scores asecond time before the opponent is able to score, they areawarded another ten and the clock moves to 60. The 60 signifiesthe end of the game. However, if a player fails to score twice in arow, then the clock would move back to Z
Another theory is that the scoring nomenclature came from theFrench game jeu de paume
