Grants reported for top tennis players (5)
I believe the answer is:
seeds
'top tennis players' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seeds that I've seen before include "nuts" , "Initiates the growth of" , "favourites for the trophy?" , "Small hard fruits" , "Genesis" .)
