back walls
Court's far ends
Back walls are the rear boundaries of an enclosed space—the wall opposite the entrance in a room, or the far end of a court in racquet sports like squash or racquetball.
In sports, the back wall is often in play: The ball bounced off the back wall and caught him flat-footed.
The term sometimes appears figuratively for ultimate limits or barriers.
