Quite simply, due to the importance of Jesus Christ for Christians, it has been decided to start counting years from the (estimated) year of His birth.
By the way, the way years are counted traditionally, there is no such year as "0 AD". The year before 1 AD (1 after Christ) is the year 1 BC (1 before Christ).

What is the scoring system in tennis including add and deuce?
It starts as love-all (0-0,) then if one person gets the point it is 15-love (you always say your score first. If that same person gets another point the score is 30-love (2-0,) and if the same person scores again the score is 40-love (4-0.) If you are tied you say the score, and then say "all." For example 30-all (2-2.) In ad-scoring the initial score is "deuce," if you win the point, you say "as-in." If you lose the point you say, "ad-out." If you are tied during ad, you will say "ad-all." I know it's a little confusing, you'll get used to it.

In tennis what score does lave stand for?
I think you mean love. Love is 0. 15 is the first point. 30 is the second point. 40 is the third point. After that, the player gets the game unless each player gets to 40-40. Then, this is called deuce and then one of the players has to win both points after that. If not, they play until one of the players wins the two consecutive points after 40-40. (Ad-in if you win the point after 40-40 and then ad-out if you lose the point after 40-40)
