I know OP is joking (at least I hope he is), but it reminded me of this thread about Soulslikes:

Time-wasting respawns/progress loss seems like a very blunt tool with which to motivate the player to keep playing. It's some 1988 arcade coin-op shit that we really ought to leave in the past.

Tried playing a game of tennis with my friends. 0, 15, 30, 40, Point. Then if you're two scores ahead the game resets. Wtf! Why did the game reset? I was 30-40 and now I'm back to 0? I should be allowed to keep my 30 into the next game.

Now I'm being induced into playing more tennis! I hate this.

And tennis has so few maps! Almost everywhere I go is concrete. Very luck to find a clay court anywhere. You need to buy the DLC to find grass, and only if you're really lucky.

Its repetitive. Its exhausting. The rules barely make sense. And the match-making is completely fucked. I'm either playing people I trounce or getting my ass handed to me almost every time I go to a court.

I think I'm going to try and pick up chess instead. Does anyone know how I can upgrade my pawns to queens, though?

It's a very funny comment but also tennis is only the gameplay of tennis. People don't play tennis because they Iike the story so much lmao
