ace serve
Untouched winning serve
An ace serve in tennis and volleyball is a serve that scores a point outright—the opponent fails to return the ball or even touch it.
The term combines ace (a point won in one stroke) with serve.
A player with a powerful ace serve has a significant advantage: She won the match on an ace serve in the final set.
