Lenin wasn't prepared for activity in court (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lawn tennis

'activity in court' is the definition.

'lenin wasn't prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates an anagram.
'lenin'+'wasnt'='leninwasnt'
'leninwasnt' anagrammed gives 'LAWN TENNIS'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for lawn tennis that I've seen before include "Court game" , "sport" , "Real alternative" , "Wimbledon game" , "court action results" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
