Could Bradman have been a Wimbledon player? (3)
I believe the answer is:
don
'player?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'could bradman have been a wimbledon' is the wordplay.
'DON' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for don that I've seen before include "Yorkshire river" , "Nod off like Mafia chief" , "A Spanish grandee like Quixote" , "Spanish nobleman" , "Put on or assume" .)
