As someone else said, as you learn more about this incredible game, why we say the server 1 or 2 as part of the score will become clear. There is an order of rotation. Server 1, server 2, and then side out ( serve goes to other side). Remembering where you are in this order is more difficult than what the score is. Players will actually question “ are we server 1 or 2 “ much more often than “ what’s the score”. Verbalizing the server # helps a lot, and also it is part of the rules. Not saying the complete score ( which includes server #) prior to serving is actually a fault.
