This page is a glossary of tennis terminology. ==A== * ace: Serve where the tennis ball lands inside the ''service box'' and is not touched by the receiver; thus, a shot that is both a serve and a winner is an ace. Aces are usually powerful and generally land on or near one of the corners at the back of the service box. Initially the term was used to indicate the scoring of a point. * action: Synonym of ''spin'' * ad: Used by the chair umpire to announce the score when a player has the ''advantage'', meaning they won the point immediately after a ''deuce''. See scoring in tennis * ad court: Left side of the court of each player, so called because the ''ad'' (''advantage'') point immediately following a deuce is always served to this side of the court. * advantage: When one player wins the first point from a ''deuce'' and needs one more point to win the game; not applicable when using deciding points. * advantage set: Set won by a player or team having won at least six games with a two-game advantage over the opponent. Final sets in the singles draws of the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the tennis Olympic event, as well as the Davis Cup, are all advantage sets. * all: Used by the chair umpire to announce scores when both players have the same number of points or the same number of games. When both players are at 40, the preferred term is ''deuce''. * All-Comers: Tournament in which all players took part except the reigning champion. The winner of the All-Comers event would play the title holder in the ''Challenge Round''. * all-court (or all-court game): Style of play that is a composite of all the different playing styles, which includes baseline, transition, and serve and volley styles. * alley: Area of the court between the singles and the doubles sidelines, which together are known as ''tramlines''. * alternate: Player or team that gains acceptance into the main draw of a tournament when a main draw player or team withdraws, when there is no qualifying tournament which could provide a ''lucky loser'' instead. * approach shot: A ''groundstroke'' shot used as a setup as the player approaches the net, often using underspin or topspin. * ATP: Acronym for Association of Tennis Professionals, the main organizing body of men's professional tennis; governs the ATP World Tour with the largest tournaments for men. * ATP Champions' Race (or ATP Rankings Race To London): ATP point ranking system that starts at the beginning of the year and by the end of the year mirrors the ATP entry system ranking.
