Ace (tennis) explained

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

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

Only main draw singles matches are included here.

ATP Tour

John Isner has the most aces in a tournament with 214 during the 2018 Wimbledon,[4] and he has the most in a single match with 113 during his 11-hour encounter with Nicolas Mahut in 2010. John Isner has served the most aces with 14,470.[5] [6]

Milos Raonic hit 47 aces in 2024 Queen's, the most in a best-of-three-set match.[7] Ivo Karlović became the only player to hit at least 40 aces in three consecutive matches during 2015 Wimbledon.[8]

Goran Ivanišević has the most in a single season with 1,477 in 1996.[9] He also has the second most in a tournament with 213 when he won the 2001 Wimbledon title.
