Daisy Zhu Sep 24, 2009:
Just an idle thought. Perhaps ACE can be translated as '爱死(球）’，along the line of sandwich ‘三明治’。From the server's point of view, (s)he loves ACEs to death, and from the receiver's point of view, well, (s)he gets beat to 'death'. Perhaps somebody's already using this term this way, or some sports commentator might get wind of my translation and start using it. You never know ...
Daisy Zhu Sep 16, 2009:
Fair enough. But in one of the links you provided Ace 球 was a separate category, alone with 双误，一发得分 etc..

You make sense, but we usually translate in this way.

发球得分 is incorrect, because when your opponent hit your service wide or long and you still count as 发球得分.

网球ACE球(本球全名ACE11223,简称ACE) 从概念上讲，ACE球就是对局双方中一方发球，球落在有效区内，但对方的拍子及身体任何部位却没有触及到球而使之直接得分的发球。如果对方触到球，而出界或下网，则只称作发球得分，而不是ACE球。wenda.tianya.cn/wenda/thread?tid=05867e924ba4c541
