In professional tennis, aces are generally seen on a player's first serve, where the server can put maximum effort on power and take more chances with acute placement (usually the corners of the service courts and the centre serviceline). Sometimes a good server attempts an ace on a second serve, but it is risky. The most common placement of an ace is a hard flat serve to either the middle or the corner of the service box, or a spin serve out wide such as a slice serve (to the deuce court) or a twist serve (to the ad court). The ATP circuit record for most aces served in one match is held jointly by Joachim Johansson and Ivo Karlovic (51 aces). Interestingly, both players lost the matches in which they recorded this achievement. |
