back wall
Court's far end
The back wall is the rear boundary of an enclosed space—a room, court, or stage.
In racquet sports like squash and racquetball, the back wall is a playing surface that balls may legally strike: She angled the shot off the back wall.
The term also appears in theater, where the back wall of a set defines the depth of the stage space.
