Crossword Genius

Fraudster and tennis player? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

racketeer

This clue is a double definition.

'fraudster' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tennis player?' is the second definition.
(I know that tennis player can be written as racketeer)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for racketeer that I've seen before include "dishonest dealer" , "Capone, for one" , "Dodgy dealer" , "someone on the fiddle" , "Criminal trader" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
