Ace

In padel, an Ace is a serve that lands in the service box and is not touched by the opponent, resulting in an immediate point for the server.

Unlike in tennis, where aces are more common, padel aces are rarer due to the enclosed court and the presence of walls that allow for more potential returns.

A well-placed, powerful serve with good spin can achieve an ace, catching the opponent off guard and unable to react in time.
