The concept that the score is 30-30, yet might not "go to deuce" is nonsense; that ship already sailed.
As the Wimbledon final is on now, here's my favourite tennis factoid: 30-30 is exactly the same as deuce, and nobody seems to realize this.

@extempore2 If I'd ever scored two points in any game of tennis I ever played, I would have called it deuce at 30-30. -
@extempore2 Instead I just have arguments calling it deuce when watching on TV with people who claim there's a "psychological difference".

@extempore2 Yes, I've probably spent more time focusing on the advantage this might give me than I've spent on improving my actual tennis.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
