Fifteen (15)

There's often a bit of point-scoring, isn't there?  Some places just seem to encourage it.  Some others, even though all the same people attend, are relaxed and unhurried and friendly.  Not that a little friendly competition hurts.  If it weren't for that, who'd bother getting any better?

It's the unfriendly competition that's the problem.  I've seen people actively standing in front of people to block them from the view of someone else. I've seen people hijacked on their way back from the dance floor, before the next tanda has even begun to play.  Those who want to play by the rules tend to suffer.

When you win your first point in tennis, you get 15 points on the scoreboard.
