Ace (tennis)

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]

Aces have been officially recorded by the top-level professional tennis circuits since 1991,^[4] so these records start at that time.

Only main draw singles matches are included here.
