Love to see a student chasing victory at this ground (4)
I believe the answer is:
oval
'this ground' is the definition.
(cricket ground)
'love to see a student chasing victory' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'to see a' becomes 'a'.
'student' becomes 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'chasing' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'victory' becomes 'v'.
'a'+'l'='al'
'al' put after 'v' is 'val'.
'o'+'val'='OVAL'
'at' is the link.
(Other definitions for oval that I've seen before include "Where a duck may be broken" , "Surrey county cricket ground" , "Courageous" , "Elliptical figure" , "6D 5A [TUBE STATION]" .)
