Egg supplier, though this man's good at tennis (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hen

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

'egg supplier' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'this man's good at tennis' is the wordplay.
'this man' becomes 'he' (pronoun for a man).
'good at tennis' becomes 'n' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'he'+'n'='HEN'

'though' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hen that I've seen before include "Source of eggs" , "This party is for women only" , "Insufficient in amount" , "Adult female chicken" , "Clucking female" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
