Help answer this question below.

During the French Open, when the score is either 15 all or 30 all, what is the word that would be the equivalent of all? It sounds like the French word for year, or "an" thus trente an.

    The answer is "A"

    1) I found this: (uses of the letter "A")
    "Au tennis, on l'utilise pour indiquer l'égalité: Successivement, 15 A, 30 A, 40A. On dit aussi partout ou égalité."
    Translation: "In tennis, you use it to indicate the equality: successively, 15A, 30A, 40A. One says also "partout" (everywhere) or "égalité" (equality)"
    Source:
    http://www.encyclopedie-universelle.com/a-philosophie-sport.html

    2) I found also this:
    "égalité; Définition : Score annoncé dans un jeu après la perte d'un avantage par l'un des joueurs."
    "Quand le score passe de 40-30 à 40-40, l'arbitre annonce: "40A" et non "égalité"."
    Translation: "égalité" Definition: Score announced in a game after the loss of an advantage by one of the players. When the score goes from 40-30 to 40-40, the referee announces "40A" and not "égalité"

    try this link...

    http://french.about.com/od/vocabulary/a/tennis.htm

    'partout' = all (or everywhere, in certain usage)
    pronounced "par-too"
    example, 'quinze partout' = 15 all

    hope that helps!
