forty-love

in a tennis game, most players aspire to be up 40-0, as that would mean that they would have 3 game points; a most commanding lead indeed. in the same vein, you might have heard commentators say that "the game/match was so one-sided" when one has won by such a large margin.

however on the flipside, it might also mean that the other player is unable to respond in the desired actions. of course a game is only interesting when both players are of the same level; if one constantly serves out forty-love games, i am sure they will not be playing together for long!

in other matters, 40-0 might just mean that your opponent might just be uninterested in the game altogether.

i am currently at forty-love now. should i go in for the kill, or should i wait for my opponent to retaliate?
