Definition from own experience or research:
as - početni servisni neobranjivi udarac u tenisu

Vladimir Anić, Rječnik hrvatskog jezika

Example sentence(s):
  • Iako Karlović pamti mečeve i s puno boljim postotkom prvog servisa (57 %), no kada je trebalo iz njegovog je reketa stigao neobranjiv udarac (16 as servisa), pa je četvrti nositelj turnira izgubio samo devet poena na svoj početni udarac. - dnevnik.hr  
  • Mario je slabo servirao tijekom cijelog meča. Od devet gemova na svom je servisu izgubio tri. Nijednom nije servirao as, a napravo je tri dvostruke pogreške. - Javno  

Explanation:
Možda bi moglo biti i "neobranjivi udarac", ali mislim da je sasvim uobičajen i općenito prihvaćen upravo izraz "as".
