Determined late series of games at Wimbledon? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
dead set
'determined' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'late series of games at wimbledon?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'late' could be 'dead' (similar in meaning) and 'dead' is located in the answer.
'series' could be 'set' (I've seen this before) and 'set' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dead set that I've seen before include "A determined attack - from moribund group?" , "Complete standstill; sedated (anag.)" , "A determined attack, sounds moribund" , "Fixed in one's purpose" , "Fully determined" .)
