Deuce refers to a card with the rank of two in a deck of playing cards. It is the lowest numbered card in each suit, following the ace, which can be high or low depending on the game.

What is "deuce"?

Deuce is a term used in tennis when the score in a game reaches 40-40, meaning both players have won three points each. To win the game from deuce, a player must win two consecutive points. The first point after deuce is called "advantage," and if the player with the advantage wins the next point, they win the game. If the player loses the advantage, the score returns to deuce.
