After the match, as we were recording our scores, I was talking to one of my opponents about what a nice match we'd had and how I felt like it could easily have gone the other way. And she said, "Oh, we couldn't get anything past you. You returned everything. You're a human backboard!" Me! A human backboard! It was the cherry on top of the fluffy white frosting on top of the angel food cake of my tennis match that day! Thank you opponent-whose-name-I-can't-remember for the best tennis compliment I've received in a long, long time. (For the record - I do not believe I am a human backboard but if this lady wants to go around saying stuff like that, who am I to stop her?)

That is a great compliment! I played a woman like that this week - I think it improved my game. Everything came back, even my best shots. It reminded me that I always have to be ready for the next shot.
You are correct, the best tennis compliment ever! :)
Great job! What a nice compliment.
haha that's so nice! my coach calls those ball machines and they're always a challenge to play against :) good job
Haha, this is both funny and very flattering indeed. Wish someone said something like that about me sometime, though I'm not that good :/
