Court winner remains for hearing (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ashe

'court winner' is the definition.
(tennis player Arthur Ashe)

'remains for hearing' is the wordplay.
'remains' becomes 'ash' (I've seen this before).
'for hearing' shows a homophone (sound like).
'ash' is a homophone of 'ASHE'.

(Other definitions for ashe that I've seen before include "US rallying champion" , "Former tennis star" , "US court star" , "Arthur, who came to court" , "tennis champ" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
