'LOVE' NOT 'NIL'

To the young lady who read the midday news on Tuesday on the 'Trini Bashment' radio station - Love means zero in tennis.
You unfortunately said Roger Federer won his first round match in the Australian Open with a "six nil, six three, six nil" result.
Steups!
We say nil for zero goals in football. We say love for zero points in tennis.
You could argue that you did not write the script, but it just shows how unaware you are of basic sports terminology.
