You need to win two points in a row against a player who is at your level. There have been games with many deuces in the past. It's all about mental toughness and who can stand the pressure longer.
In tennis scoring is unusual- the scores do not increase by single digits, they begin at 15 and go up 30 (2) then 40. When a person has no score it is called "love". So if player A gets 15 first the score is 15-"love". When the score gets to 40-40 it is known as deuce and the next player to get two points wins.

There are times when players both agree to skip the advantage acknowledgment and only play to one point after deuce for the winning point. 1
