Hearing place will provide space for a game of tennis! (9)
I believe the answer is:
courtroom
'hearing place will' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'space for a game of tennis' is the wordplay.
'space' becomes 'room' (enough space or room to do something).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'a game of tennis' becomes 'court' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'room' put after 'court' is 'COURTROOM'.
'provide' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for courtroom that I've seen before include "trying situation" , "trial venue" .)
