double figures
Ten or above
Double figures refers to any number from 10 to 99—numbers expressed with two digits.
The phrase appears most often in sports and statistics when someone reaches a notable threshold: She scored in double figures for the fifth straight game.
British English favors double figures where American English might say double digits.
