Ace (tennis)

Last updated

In tennis, an ace is a legal serve that is not touched by the receiver, winning the point for the server. [1] In professional tennis, aces are generally seen on a player's first serve, where the server can strike the ball with maximum force and take more chances with ball placement, such as the far corners of the service box. [2] According to the International Tennis Hall of Fame, this term was coined by the sports journalist Allison Danzig. [3]

Professional singles records
