Does it follow an ace in tennis? (5)
I believe the answer is:
deuce
'ace in tennis?' is the definition.
'deuce' can be an answer for 'ace' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'in tennis?' bit.
'does it follow an' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'duce' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deuce that I've seen before include "Dickens" , "Two in cards - score in tennis" , "A two; forty all" , "situation of no advantage to either side" , "Level of tennis" .)
