Love a revolutionary being ready for a row? (5)
I believe the answer is:
oared
'ready for a row?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'love a revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'revolutionary' becomes 'red'.
'o'+'a'+'red'='OARED'
'being' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for oared that I've seen before include "(Of a boat) provided with rowing blades" , "Propelled like a rowing boat" , "Having something to pull on" , "Prepared for a row" , "ready for a row" .)
