Choose, from the bachelors? (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

single out

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

'choose' is the definition.
(I know that single out is a type of choose)

'from the bachelors?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for single out that I've seen before include "record on release" , "Select from group" , "Pick" , "Choose" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
