"Love means nothing to a tennis player"

In every other context, love means everything. In tennis, it means you haven't scored a single point. Zero. Nil. Nothing. And recreational tennis players wear that contradiction like a badge of honour.

"Love Means Nothing to a Tennis Player" is the classic tennis joke done right — clean enough to wear anywhere, specific enough that only tennis players immediately get it, and funny enough that non-tennis people will ask about it, which gives you the opportunity to explain tennis scoring, which nobody has ever successfully done in under four minutes.

Designed by LooseTennisBalls, a print-on-demand apparel brand for club players who love the sport unconditionally — even when the sport is returning zero points on that love. Available on tees, hoodies, mugs, stickers, tote bags and phone cases, printed on demand by Redbubble with worldwide shipping.

The tennis gift that works for Valentine's Day, birthdays, and every Tuesday evening at the club.
