It's common to play matches (sets) of a "race" to a number of games. In, for example, a "race to 5," the first player to win five games wins the match. When a player has won four games, he is "on the hill." If both players are on the hill, the match will determined by the next game. This is "hill hill," or in Canada, "double hill."

Here in Western Pa, they call it cheese when each player needs to win the deciding match or game.
 
I always assumed the "on the hill" analogy meant that the hard work of getting "on the hill" was done. One more game and the work is done. It's all downhill from there.
