ace

Unreturnable tennis serve

Ace has many associations with one and being first, starting with its designation for a playing card with one mark on it.

The high value of an ace in many card games informs its use as an adjective for top quality (an ace programmer) and as verb to do something easily and well: She aced her physics test.

In tennis, an ace is a legal serve that is not returned, resulting in a point for the server.

In golf, it is a hole in one.
