It's not a phrase I've heard before! I've definitely seen it in action though.
The professional respect I've observed in this game is more about 'I'm not going to go up against you because I know I can't beat you', which is more a disgruntled respect. My recollection is seeing professional respect but not personal 'like' in these situations.
I love this topic. I say all the time, all I want is for someone to return the ball back to me after I serve. But what I really want is to find people who can take my best serve and smoke it past me (figuratively speaking). It's an absolute pleasure when you find someone you can play and learn the game from. Harder to do working from home these days.
