Chinese province welcoming male tennis star (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

henman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tennis star' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'chinese province welcoming male' is the wordplay.
'chinese province welcoming' becomes 'hen' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'male' becomes 'man' (man is a kind of male).
'hen'+'man'='HENMAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for henman that I've seen before include "Tim -, tennis player" , "Former racketeer" .)
