Figure love can’t go wrong (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

octagon

'figure' is the definition.
(type of geometrical figure)

'love can't go wrong' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'cant'+'go'='cantgo'
'cantgo' is an anagram of 'ctagon'.
'o'+'ctagon'='OCTAGON'

(Other definitions for octagon that I've seen before include "regular form" , "Figure of many sides" , "Eight-sided figure" , "Eight-sided room" , "Shape of a square with the corners cut off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
